我想使用.replace函数替换多个字符串。

我目前有

string.replace("condition1", "")

但想要一些像

string.replace("condition1", "").replace("condition2", "text")

尽管这样的语法感觉不太好

正确的做法是什么?有点像在grep/regex中,你可以用\1和\2来替换某些搜索字符串的字段


当前回答

我的方法是首先将字符串标记化,然后决定每个标记是否包含它。

潜在地,如果我们可以假设一个hashmap/set的O(1)查找,可能会更好:

remove_words = {"we", "this"}
target_sent = "we should modify this string"
target_sent_words = target_sent.split()
filtered_sent = " ".join(list(filter(lambda word: word not in remove_words, target_sent_words)))

Filtered_sent现在是'应该修改字符串'

下面是一个简短的例子,应该做的技巧与正则表达式:

import re

rep = {"condition1": "", "condition2": "text"} # define desired replacements here

# use these three lines to do the replacement
rep = dict((re.escape(k), v) for k, v in rep.iteritems()) 
#Python 3 renamed dict.iteritems to dict.items so use rep.items() for latest versions
pattern = re.compile("|".join(rep.keys()))
text = pattern.sub(lambda m: rep[re.escape(m.group(0))], text)

例如:

>>> pattern.sub(lambda m: rep[re.escape(m.group(0))], "(condition1) and --condition2--")
'() and --text--'

下面是另一种使用字典的方法:

listA="The cat jumped over the house".split()
modify = {word:word for number,word in enumerate(listA)}
modify["cat"],modify["jumped"]="dog","walked"
print " ".join(modify[x] for x in listA)

对于只替换一个字符,使用翻译和str.maketrans是我最喜欢的方法。

Tl;dr > result_string = your_string.translate(str.maketrans(dict_mapping))


demo

my_string = 'This is a test string.'
dict_mapping = {'i': 's', 's': 'S'}
result_good = my_string.translate(str.maketrans(dict_mapping))
result_bad = my_string
for x, y in dict_mapping.items():
    result_bad = result_bad.replace(x, y)
print(result_good)  # ThsS sS a teSt Strsng.
print(result_bad)   # ThSS SS a teSt StrSng.

您可以使用pandas库和replace函数,它既支持精确匹配,也支持正则表达式替换。例如:

df = pd.DataFrame({'text': ['Billy is going to visit Rome in November', 'I was born in 10/10/2010', 'I will be there at 20:00']})

to_replace=['Billy','Rome','January|February|March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December', '\d{2}:\d{2}', '\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}']
replace_with=['name','city','month','time', 'date']

print(df.text.replace(to_replace, replace_with, regex=True))

修改后的文本为:

0    name is going to visit city in month
1                      I was born in date
2                 I will be there at time

你可以在这里找到一个例子。请注意,文本上的替换是按照它们在列表中出现的顺序进行的

注意:测试你的案例,见注释。

这里有一个例子,它在长弦上更有效,有许多小的替换。

source = "Here is foo, it does moo!"

replacements = {
    'is': 'was', # replace 'is' with 'was'
    'does': 'did',
    '!': '?'
}

def replace(source, replacements):
    finder = re.compile("|".join(re.escape(k) for k in replacements.keys())) # matches every string we want replaced
    result = []
    pos = 0
    while True:
        match = finder.search(source, pos)
        if match:
            # cut off the part up until match
            result.append(source[pos : match.start()])
            # cut off the matched part and replace it in place
            result.append(replacements[source[match.start() : match.end()]])
            pos = match.end()
        else:
            # the rest after the last match
            result.append(source[pos:])
            break
    return "".join(result)

print replace(source, replacements)

关键是要避免长字符串的多次连接。我们将源字符串切成片段,在我们形成列表时替换一些片段,然后将整个字符串连接回字符串。
