### `tf.contrib.graph_editor.select_ops(*args, **kwargs)` {#select_ops}

Helper to select operations.

##### Args:


*  <b>`*args`</b>: list of 1) regular expressions (compiled or not) or  2) (array of)
    `tf.Operation`. `tf.Tensor` instances are silently ignored.
*  <b>`**kwargs`</b>: 'graph': `tf.Graph` in which to perform the regex query.This is
    required when using regex.
    'positive_filter': an elem if selected only if `positive_filter(elem)` is
      `True`. This is optional.
    'restrict_ops_regex': a regular expression is ignored if it doesn't start
      with the substring "(?#ops)".

##### Returns:

  A list of `tf.Operation`.

##### Raises:


*  <b>`TypeError`</b>: if the optional keyword argument graph is not a `tf.Graph`
    or if an argument in args is not an (array of) `tf.Operation`
    or an (array of) `tf.Tensor` (silently ignored) or a string
    or a regular expression.
*  <b>`ValueError`</b>: if one of the keyword arguments is unexpected or if a regular
    expression is used without passing a graph as a keyword argument.
