In my date time value I want to use regex to strip out the slash and colon from time and replace it with underscore

python regex selenium selenium-webdriver webdriver

Just format the datetime using strftime() into the desired format:

>>> datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%m_%d_%y%H_%M_%S")'05_20_1517_20_16'

python regex selenium selenium-webdriver webdriver

Another simple option is just using string replace :

s = "your time string"s = s.replace("/", "_").replace(":", "_")

Two ways:

i) use strftime with the format:

strftime("%m_%d_%y_%H_%M_%S")

ii) simply use replace() method of strings to replace '/' and ':' to '_'
