Self Paced
Regular expressions are one of the tools that every programmer needs, but is often scared of. In this course, we'll explore the re module that Python provides and learn to write regular expressions for many different situations.
Let's break down regular expressions and their methods so we can turn a block of messy text into useful dictionaries. We'll use .match(), .search(), and .findall() to find matches for our patterns, and we'll build our patterns up from something very precise to something more flexible and powerful. Finally, we'll turn our text into real Python dictionaries.

Write a class to represent a person based on the information in the text file. They should have names, email addresses, phone numbers, jobs, and Twitter accounts. Remember, some of these can be blank, though!
To go ever further, make a class to act as as address book to hold all of the people class instances created above. Can you make it searchable?
