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

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--'

为什么没有这样的解决方案呢?

s = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
for r in (("brown", "red"), ("lazy", "quick")):
    s = s.replace(*r)

#output will be:  The quick red fox jumps over the quick dog

这只是F.J和mini夸克的一个更简洁的概述,bgusach的伟大回答和最后但决定性的改进。所有你需要实现多个同步字符串替换是以下函数:

def multiple_replace(string, rep_dict):
    pattern = re.compile("|".join([re.escape(k) for k in sorted(rep_dict,key=len,reverse=True)]), flags=re.DOTALL)
    return pattern.sub(lambda x: rep_dict[x.group(0)], string)

用法:

>>>multiple_replace("Do you like cafe? No, I prefer tea.", {'cafe':'tea', 'tea':'cafe', 'like':'prefer'})
'Do you prefer tea? No, I prefer cafe.'

如果您愿意,您可以从这个更简单的函数开始创建自己的专用替换函数。

sentence='its some sentence with a something text'

def replaceAll(f,Array1,Array2):
    if len(Array1)==len(Array2):
        for x in range(len(Array1)):
            return f.replace(Array1[x],Array2[x])

newSentence=replaceAll(sentence,['a','sentence','something'],['another','sentence','something something'])

print(newSentence)

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'

我想建议使用字符串模板。只需将要替换的字符串放在字典中,一切就都设置好了!示例来自docs.python.org

>>> from string import Template
>>> s = Template('$who likes $what')
>>> s.substitute(who='tim', what='kung pao')
'tim likes kung pao'
>>> d = dict(who='tim')
>>> Template('Give $who $100').substitute(d)
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
ValueError: Invalid placeholder in string: line 1, col 10
>>> Template('$who likes $what').substitute(d)
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
KeyError: 'what'
>>> Template('$who likes $what').safe_substitute(d)
'tim likes $what'
