I’m working on a Python script that uses regular expressions to extract data from a string. However, I keep encountering an error: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'. Here is the relevant part of my code:
import re
pattern = re.compile(r'(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})')
match = pattern.match('2024-06-16')
print(match.group(1))
The error occurs when I try to access match.group(1). Can someone explain why this is happening and how to fix it?
The error AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' occurs because the match function did not find a match and returned None. When you try to call group on None, it raises an AttributeError. To fix this, you should first check if a match was found before trying to access the groups. Here's how you can do it: import re pattern = re.compile(r'(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})') match = pattern.match('2024-06-16') if match: print(match.group(1)) else: print("No match found.") This way, you handle the case where no match is found and avoid the AttributeError.
