## Suppose we have a text with many email addresses

## Here re.findall() returns a list of all the found email strings
emails = re.findall(r'[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+', str) ## ['alice@google.com', 'bob@abc.com']
for email in emails:
  # do something with each found email string
  print email

#-----------------------
# replace
#-----------------------

str = 'purple alice@google.com, blah monkey bob@abc.com blah dishwasher'
## re.sub(pat, replacement, str) -- returns new string with all replacements,
## \1 is group(1), \2 group(2) in the replacement
print re.sub(r'([\w\.-]+)@([\w\.-]+)', r'\1@yo-yo-dyne.com', str)
## purple alice@yo-yo-dyne.com, blah monkey bob@yo-yo-dyne.com blah dishwasher
