Hi all!
I have a file in which there are some expressions such as "kindest
regard" and "yours sincerely". I must create a phyton script that
checks if a text contains one or more of these expressions and, in
this case, replaces the spaces in the expression with the character
"_". For example, the text
Yours sincerely, Marco.
Must be transformated in:
Yours_sincerely, Marco.
Now I have written this code:
filemw = codecs.open(sys.argv[1], "r", "iso-8859-1").readlines()
filein = codecs.open(sys.argv[2], "r", "iso-8859-1").readlines()
mw = ""
for line in filemw:
mw = mw + line.strip() + "|"
mwfind_re = re.compile(r"^(" + mw + ")",re.IGNORECASE|re.VERBOSE)
mwfind_subst = r"_"
for line in filein:
line = line.strip()
if (line != ""):
line = mwfind_re.sub(mwfind_subst, line)
print line
It correctly identifies the expressions, but doesn't replace the
character in the right way. How can I do what I want?
Thanks in advance.
