我需要一个解决方案，其中字符串可以被替换为正则表达式， 例如，通过将多个空格字符替换为一个空格字符来帮助规范化长文本。根据其他人(包括MiniQuark和mmj)的一系列答案，我得出了以下结论:

def multiple_replace(string, reps, re_flags = 0):
    """ Transforms string, replacing keys from re_str_dict with values.
    reps: dictionary, or list of key-value pairs (to enforce ordering;
          earlier items have higher priority).
          Keys are used as regular expressions.
    re_flags: interpretation of regular expressions, such as re.DOTALL
    """
    if isinstance(reps, dict):
        reps = reps.items()
    pattern = re.compile("|".join("(?P<_%d>%s)" % (i, re_str[0])
                                  for i, re_str in enumerate(reps)),
                         re_flags)
    return pattern.sub(lambda x: reps[int(x.lastgroup[1:])][1], string)

它适用于其他答案中给出的例子，例如:

>>> multiple_replace("(condition1) and --condition2--",
...                  {"condition1": "", "condition2": "text"})
'() and --text--'

>>> multiple_replace('hello, world', {'hello' : 'goodbye', 'world' : 'earth'})
'goodbye, earth'

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

对我来说，最重要的是你也可以使用正则表达式，例如只替换整个单词，或规范化空白:

>>> s = "I don't want to change this name:\n  Philip II of Spain"
>>> re_str_dict = {r'\bI\b': 'You', r'[\n\t ]+': ' '}
>>> multiple_replace(s, re_str_dict)
"You don't want to change this name: Philip II of Spain"

如果你想使用字典键作为普通字符串， 你可以在调用multiple_replace之前转义这些，例如使用下面的函数:

def escape_keys(d):
    """ transform dictionary d by applying re.escape to the keys """
    return dict((re.escape(k), v) for k, v in d.items())

>>> multiple_replace(s, escape_keys(re_str_dict))
"I don't want to change this name:\n  Philip II of Spain"

下面的函数可以帮助在你的字典键中找到错误的正则表达式(因为来自multiple_replace的错误消息不是很明显):

def check_re_list(re_list):
    """ Checks if each regular expression in list is well-formed. """
    for i, e in enumerate(re_list):
        try:
            re.compile(e)
        except (TypeError, re.error):
            print("Invalid regular expression string "
                  "at position {}: '{}'".format(i, e))

>>> check_re_list(re_str_dict.keys())

请注意，它没有链接替换，而是同时执行它们。这使得它更有效率，而不会限制它能做什么。为了模仿链接的效果，你可能只需要添加更多的字符串替换对，并确保这些对的预期顺序:

>>> multiple_replace("button", {"but": "mut", "mutton": "lamb"})
'mutton'
>>> multiple_replace("button", [("button", "lamb"),
...                             ("but", "mut"), ("mutton", "lamb")])
'lamb'

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--'

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'

下面是一个支持基本正则表达式替换的版本。主要的限制是表达式不能包含子组，并且可能存在一些边缘情况:

基于@bgusach和其他的代码

import re

class StringReplacer:

    def __init__(self, replacements, ignore_case=False):
        patterns = sorted(replacements, key=len, reverse=True)
        self.replacements = [replacements[k] for k in patterns]
        re_mode = re.IGNORECASE if ignore_case else 0
        self.pattern = re.compile('|'.join(("({})".format(p) for p in patterns)), re_mode)
        def tr(matcher):
            index = next((index for index,value in enumerate(matcher.groups()) if value), None)
            return self.replacements[index]
        self.tr = tr

    def __call__(self, string):
        return self.pattern.sub(self.tr, string)

测试

table = {
    "aaa"    : "[This is three a]",
    "b+"     : "[This is one or more b]",
    r"<\w+>" : "[This is a tag]"
}

replacer = StringReplacer(table, True)

sample1 = "whatever bb, aaa, <star> BBB <end>"

print(replacer(sample1))

# output: 
# whatever [This is one or more b], [This is three a], [This is a tag] [This is one or more b] [This is a tag]

诀窍是通过位置来识别匹配的组。它不是超级高效(O(n))，但它是有效的。

index = next((index for index,value in enumerate(matcher.groups()) if value), None)

替换是一次完成的。

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)
