CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test (col1 decimal(10,2),col2 char(20))


From this query String i want to get each of the column details (ie, col1 decimal(10,2) and col2 char(20) etc ) as a list in a single group(#anynumber) call.
currently what i'am doing is given below :



columnResult = re.match(r"^CREATE(sw+s*){1,}((w+)s(S+),s*(w+)s(S+)",line)
if columnResult == None:
pass
else:
print("column = ",columnResult.group(2),",",columnResult.group(4))
print("type = ",columnResult.group(3),", ",columnResult.group(5))


Instead of repeating (w+)s(S+) for each column ,how can i match all repeating column details in one shot?
Please help
