Python: Matches a word containing 'z', not at the start or end of the word


Write a Python program that matches a word containing 'z', not the start or end of the word.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import re
def text_match(text):
        patterns = '\Bz\B'
        if re.search(patterns,  text):
                return 'Found a match!'
        else:
                return('Not matched!')

print(text_match("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."))
print(text_match("Python Exercises."))

Sample Output:

Found a match!
