Introducción a la computación científica con Python

Date:

I gave a short talk titled “Búsqueda de Patrones en Texto” (in english, “Search for patterns in text”) as part of a PyData San Luis MeetUp, “Introducción a la computación científica con Python” (in english, “Introduction to scientific computing with Python”).

In this talk, I introduced shortly the problem of pattern search in text. The example we used to understand this problem was the searching of telephone numbers in a big text file. We introduced the naive approach to solve this problem, remarking its flaws. Finally, we showed how to use regular expressions, making use of the package re in Python, to solve this problem.
