如何在 string.replace 中输入正则表达式？

我需要一些关于声明正则表达式的帮助。我的输入如下：

this is a paragraph with<[1> in between</[1> and then there are cases ... where the<[99> number ranges from 1-100</[99>. 
and there are many other lines in the txt files
with<[3> such tags </[3>

所需的输出是：

this is a paragraph with in between and then there are cases ... where the number ranges from 1-100. 
and there are many other lines in the txt files
with such tags

我试过这个：

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys, re, glob
for infile in glob.glob(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), '*.txt')):
    for line in reader: 
        line2 = line.replace('<[1> ', '')
        line = line2.replace('</[1> ', '')
        line2 = line.replace('<[1>', '')
        line = line2.replace('</[1>', '')
        
        print line

我也尝试过这个（但似乎我使用了错误的正则表达式语法）：

        line2 = line.replace('<[*> ', '')
        line = line2.replace('</[*> ', '')
        line2 = line.replace('<[*>', '')
        line = line2.replace('</[*>', '')

我不想硬编码replace从 1 到 99。

这个经过测试的片段应该可以做到：

import re
line = re.sub(r"</?\[\d+>", "", line)

Edit:这是一个注释版本，解释了它是如何工作的：

line = re.sub(r"""
  (?x) # Use free-spacing mode.
  <    # Match a literal '<'
  /?   # Optionally match a '/'
  \[   # Match a literal '['
  \d+  # Match one or more digits
  >    # Match a literal '>'
  """, "", line)

正则表达式是fun!但我强烈建议花一两个小时学习基础知识。对于初学者，您需要了解哪些字符是特殊的：“元字符”需要转义（即前面放置反斜杠 - 并且字符类内部和外部的规则不同。）有一个很棒的在线教程：www.正则表达式.info。您在那里度过的时间将带来数倍的回报。快乐的调整！
