Thank you all for your kind time. The problem is slightly more complex. I am restating the problem. "Hello my name is Richard" is a string. I have tagged the words Hello and Richard as "Hello/Hi" and "Richard/P". After this I could get the string as a list of words as in, ['Hello/Hi','my','name','is','Richard/P'] Now I want to replace the string with Hello/Hi my name is Richard/P It may seem a joining of list but is not because if I try to make, ['Hello/Hi','my/M','name','is/I','Richard/P'] I may do, but doing the following string Hello/Hi my/M<HM> name is/I Richard/P<IP> is tough as entities with tag may vary. I have to make a rule. I am trying to recognize the index of the word in the list, pop it and replace with new value and joining the list as string. This is okay but as expert people if you have any smarter suggestion. Thanks in advance -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
