I am trying to extract certain words from a file using regex in python but I am unable to get it. My original file looks like
List/VB
[ the/DT flights/NNS ]
from/IN
and I want the output to be
List VB
the DT
flights NNS
from IN
I wrote the following code:
import re
with open("in.txt",'r') as infile, open("out.txt",'w') as outfile:
for line in infile:
if (re.match(r'(?:[\s)?(\w\\\w)',line)):
outfile.write(line)
with the sample data you provided:
>>> data = """List/VB
... [ the/DT flights/NNS ]
... from/IN"""
>>> expr = re.compile("(([\w]+)\/([\w]+))", re.M)
>>> for el in expr.findall(data):
>>> print el[1], el[2]
List VB
the DT
flights NNS
from IN
import re
expr = re.compile("(([\w]+)\/([\w]+))", re.M)
fp = open("file_list.txt",'r')
lines = fp.read()
fp.close()
a = expr.findall(lines)
for el in expr.findall(lines):
print ' '.join(el[1:])
Outputs:
List VB
the DT
flights NNS
from IN
