Hello, I am a beginner in Python and am not able to use a list element for regular expression, substitutions.
list1 = [ 'a', 'o' ] list2 = ['star', 'day', 'work', 'hello'] Suppose that I want to substitute the vowels from list2 that are in list1, into for example 'u'. In my substitution, I should use the elements in list1 as a variable. I thought about: for x in list1: re.compile(x) for y in list2: re.compile(y) if x in y: z = re.sub(x, 'u', y) but this does not work -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
