I have something like this:
text = 'This text is very very long.' replace_words = ['very','word'] for word in replace_words: text = text.replace('very','not very') I would like to only replace the first 'very' or choose which 'very' gets overwritten. I'm doing this on much larger amounts of text so I want to control how duplicate words are being replaced.
