python - how to compare two strings ignoring few characters -


i want compare 2 strings in python ignoring characters, if string is:

"http://localhost:13555/chessboard_x16_y20.bmp" 

i want ignore values "16" , "20" in string; no matter these values are, if rest of string same string should result "true". how can this?

example:

url = "http://localhost:13555/chessboard_x05_y12.bmp"  if url == "http://localhost:13555/chessboard_x16_y16.bmp":     print("true") else:     print("false") 

output:

true 

use regular expressions. here case. dot matches symbol. \d matches digit. special symbols have escaped.

import re if re.match(r'http://localhost:13555/chessboard_x\d\d_y\d\d\.bmp', url):     print("true") else:     print("false")
