Regex to capture #Facilitator:”Full Name ” tags

Please help with the regex, the language can be any. I’ll later translate it to python.

I’m trying to build a regex to capture the tag below:

#Facilitator:"Full Name <[e-mail]>"

• Full name can be with accents like José, Pâmela, or any available in the ASCII table.
• Full name can have 1, 2 or n family names. Could have or not a ‘(comapny name)’ at the end of the name: like #Facilitator:"Name1 Name2 Name3 (Company Inc) <mail@domain>"
• The tag can appear 0, 1 or n times in strings.
• The tag can appear in any place of the string.

So far trying like this (python) but no success:

import re

notes = 'Verbal confirmation #Facilitator:"Fernas P. Loyola (YARDA LTDA) <[e-mail]>"from ATUX with Melanie. Waiting for scheduling#Facilitator:"Fernandes <[e-mail]>" #Facilitator:"Pablito Ferdinandes <[e-mail]>"'

facilitator_regex = '^.*((#Facilitator:".*"){1,}).*$'
regex_replace = '\1'

print(re.sub(facilitator_regex, regex_replace, notes))

The output i expect is a list of 0, 1 or more #tags separated by a space.

Any help on any language? I need help mostly with the regex itself. thanks so much.

Answer

You can find all the facilitators using re.findall with this regex:

'#Facilitator:"[^"]*"'

e.g.

facilitator_regex = '#Facilitator:"[^"]*"'
facilitators = re.findall(facilitator_regex, notes)

For your sample data this gives

[
 '#Facilitator:"Fernas P. Loyola (YARDA LTDA) <[e-mail]>"',
 '#Facilitator:"Fernandes <[e-mail]>"',
 '#Facilitator:"Pablito Ferdinandes <[e-mail]>"'
]

You could then use str.join to make a space-separated list:

print(' '.join(facilitators))

Output:

#Facilitator:"Fernas P. Loyola (YARDA LTDA) <[e-mail]>" #Facilitator:"Fernandes <[e-mail]>" #Facilitator:"Pablito Ferdinandes <[e-mail]>"
