Program:

            /* ............... START ............... */
                
import re

pattern = r"world$"
text = "Hello, world!"

match = re.search(pattern, text)
if match:
    print("Match found:", match.group())
else:
    print("No match found.")

                /* ............... END ............... */
        

Output

Match found: world

Notes:

• In this example, the regular expression pattern world$ is used to match the word "world" that occurs at the end of the string. The re.search() function searches for the pattern in the given text string, and if a match is found, it returns a match object. The match.group() method retrieves the matched portion of the string.
• Note that in Python, the re.search() function returns the first match it finds. If you want to find multiple matches, you can use re.findall() or re.finditer() functions instead.
