Login and get codingWrite a regular expression to extract 4 pieces of information from an email header:
- From email
- To email
- Subject
- Date sent (without timezone info)
Use
re.match
orre.search
and capturing parenthesis. Return the capturedgroupdict
of the match object.Here is an example how it would work (email header found here - we use another made up one in the tests):
>>> header = """Return-Path: <bounces+5555-7602-redacted-info> ... ... ... Received: by 10.8.49.86 with SMTP id mf9.22328.51C1E5CDF ... Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:09:33 +0000 (UTC) ...
