Hello,
I want to make a replacement in a string, to ensure that ellipsis are
surrounded by spaces (this is not a typographycal problem, but a preparation
for late text chunking).
I tried with regular expressions and the SRE_Pattern.sub() method, but I
have an unexpected duplication of the replacement pattern:
The code:
ellipfind_re = re.compile(r"((?=\.\.\.)|…)", re.IGNORECASE|re.VERBOSE)
ellipfind_re.sub(' ... ',
"C'est un essai... avec différents caractères… pour voir.")
And I retrieve:
"C'est un essai ... ... avec différents caractères ... pour voir."
^^^
I tested with/without group capture, same result.
My Python version:
Python 3.4.3 (default, Mar 26 2015, 22:03:40)
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux
Any idea ?
Thanks.
Laurent.
