User input for a regular expressions string

Question

Can you use user input as a regular expression string. For example:

words = r"spamspamspam"
message = r input()

if re. search(words, message):
print("match")

All Google results say to use 'raw_input()' but that's in Python 2

I want an easy way to test if there is ANY match whatsoever between a string and input. (So like testing a password for numbers and other symbols etc)

Answer 4

It's already a "raw" input.... try:
print(input())... now enter something like ....hello\n \" \' world.
It will output:- hello\n \" \' world......no escaping is done.
