How to replace multiple value in python with the re module - regex

Question

I need to replace some text inside a file with the python re module.
Here is the input value :
<li><span class="PCap CharOverride-4">Contrôles</span> <span class="PCap CharOverride-4">Testes</span></li>
and the excepting output is this :
<li><span class="PCap CharOverride-4">C<span style="font-size:83%">ONTRôLES</span></span>
<span class="PCap CharOverride-4">T<span style="font-size:83%">ESTES</span></span></li>
but insted, I get this as result :
<li><span class="PCap CharOverride-4">C<span style="font-size:83%">ONTRôLES</span></span> <span class="PCap CharOverride-4">C<span style="font-size:83%">ONTRôLES</span></span></li>
Is there something that I missed ?
Here is what I've done so far :
for line in file_data.readlines():
#print(line)
reg = re.compile(r'(?P<b1>(<'+balise_name+' class="(([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]*?) |)'+class_value+')(| ([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]*?))">)(?P<maj>([A-ZÀÁÂÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝ]))(?P<min>([a-zàáâãäåæçèéëìíîïðòóôõöøùúûüýÿµœš]*?))(?P<b2>(<\/'+balise_name+'>))')
#print(reg)
search = reg.findall(line)
print(search)
if (search != None):
for matchObj in search:
print(matchObj)
#print(matchObj[8])
print(line)
balise1 = matchObj[0] #search.group('b1')
print(balise1)
balise2 = matchObj[10] #matchObj.group('b2')
print(balise2)
maj = matchObj[6] #matchObj.group('maj')
print(maj)
min = matchObj[8] #matchObj.group('min')
print(min)
sub_str = balise1+""+maj+"<span style=\"font-size:83%\">"+min.upper()+"</span>"+balise2
line = re.sub(reg, sub_str, line)
#ouverture du fichier pour ajour ligne
filename = file_name.split(".")
#file_result = open(filename[0]+"-OK."+filename[1], "a")
#file_result.writelines(line)
#file_data.writelines(line)
#file_result.close()
print(line)
NB : I don't know how to use the module Beautifulsoup of python so why I do it manually.
Pardon me for my poor english.
Thanks for your answer !!

Answer 1

So, I totally forgot about this question but here is the solution I came up with after fixing the code I wrote long time ago :
for line in file_data.readlines():
reg = re.compile(r'(?P<b1>(\<' + balise_name + ' class=\"(([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]*?) |)' + class_value +
')(| ([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]*?))\"\>)(?P<maj>([A-ZÀÁÂÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝ]))(?P<min>([a-zàáâãäåæçèéëìíîïðòóôõöøùúûüýÿµœš]*?))(?P<b2>(\<\/' + balise_name + '\>))')
print(line)
while reg.search(line):
search = reg.search(line)
if search:
print(search)
while search:
balise1 = search[0] # search.group('b1')
print('b1 : ' + str(balise1))
balise2 = search[11] # search.group('b2')
print('b2 : ' + str(balise2))
maj = search[7] # search.group('maj')
print('maj : ' + str(maj))
min = search[9] # search.group('min')
print('min : ' + str(min))
sub_str = search[1] + "" + maj + "<span style=\"font-size:83%\">" + min.upper() + \
"</span>" + balise2
print(sub_str)
line = re.sub(str(search[0]), sub_str, line)
print(line)
search = None
Here is what I changed with the code :
Fix some unescaped char inside the pattern
Iterate the result one by one
Fix group number for the sub function
Hope it will help someone who faced the same problem as me.
