Example string: "office administration in delhi"
I want to replace in from the string with a blank. But when I do, s.replace('in',""), the in of administration also becomes blank.
This is just a sample. The string and the word to replace may vary.
Is there some way to replace only the exact match?

replace() to Replace Multiple Characters in Python. We can use the replace() method of the str data type to replace substrings into a different output.
To replace a string in Python, the regex sub() method is used. It is a built-in Python method in re module that returns replaced string. Don't forget to import the re module. This method searches the pattern in the string and then replace it with a new given expression.
You can use regular expression \bin\b. \b here means word boundary. \bin\b will match in surrounded by word boundary (space, punctuation, ...), not in in other words.
>>> import re
>>> re.sub(r'\bin\b', '', 'office administration in delhi')
'office administration delhi'
See re.sub.
