re.sub(r'a(?=b)','*','The lion and the Fox')

I need to get the inputs and then substitute with * but Im not getting output , like if I give, a=input() b=input() c=input () print(re.sub(r'a(?=b)','*',c)) Instead of the input string, the characters a and b are replaced in 'c'. How to replace the given string with the INPUTS a and b ??

use:( f ".........." ) instead of r , then place variables inside {}. e.g. f "hello{a}"

Mndm r stands for raw string which means the string cannot escape character by \(backslash) f stands for format in which we can include identifiers, vars etc. Inside{}. It is a replacement for .format.

Mndm solution to yours: Use this pattern instead: re.sub(f'{a} (?={b})','* ',c) To fulfil your output you should include *space* after {a} and *
