I'm a beginner with both Python and RegEx, and I would like to know how to make a string that takes symbols and replaces them with spaces. Any help is great.
For example:
how much for the maple syrup? $20.99? That's ricidulous!!! into:
how much for the maple syrup 20 99 That s ridiculous 
784
You can remove a character from a Python string using replace() or translate(). Both these methods replace a character or string with a given value. If an empty string is specified, the character or string you select is removed from the string without a replacement.
You can remove duplicates from a Python using the dict. fromkeys(), which generates a dictionary that removes any duplicate values.
One way, using regular expressions:
>>> s = "how much for the maple syrup? $20.99? That's ridiculous!!!" >>> re.sub(r'[^\w]', ' ', s) 'how much for the maple syrup 20 99 That s ridiculous ' \w will match alphanumeric characters and underscores
[^\w] will match anything that's not alphanumeric or underscore
