Python: Match a string that contains only upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores

Python Regular Expression: Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a Python program to match a string that contains only upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import re
def text_match(text):
        patterns = '^[a-zA-Z0-9_]*$'
        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_1"))

Sample Output:

Not matched!
