Answer by alchemy for Regex Match all characters between two strings

I landed here on my search for regex to convert this print syntax between print "string", in Python2 in old scripts with: print("string"), for Python3. Works well, otherwise use 2to3.py for additional conversions. Here is my solution for others:

Try it out on Regexr.com (doesn't work in NP++ for some reason):

find:     (?<=print)( ')(.*)(')
replace: ('$2')

for variables:

(?<=print)( )(.*)(\n)
('$2')\n

for label and variable:

(?<=print)( ')(.*)(',)(.*)(\n)
('$2',$4)\n

How to replace all print "string" in Python2 with print("string") for Python3?
