Is is possible to do this with REGEX ?

Question

The program must find the first occurrence of the word in string 's' that matches the pattern 'p'
Input : p = ?i?n
s = Crime lion keen
Output : lion

I can do the other way but is it possible to solve using regular exp ?

Answer 1

import re
s = 'halfbright best brave broken'
result = re.findall(r'\bbr..e.\b', s)
print(result)

Answer 2

import re
s = 'Crime lion keen'
result = re.search(r'\b.i.n\b', s).group(0)
print(result)

\b = word-border
. = single arbitrary character
