Here's an example string I have,
string = '111 East Sego Lily Drive Lily Drive, Suite 200 Sandy, UT 84070'
Here "Lily Drive" is repeated twice and I want to remove that duplication. But if you see the punctuation "," is also repeated twice but I don't want to remove that.
string = nltk.word_tokenize(string)
string = OrderedDict().fromkeys(string)
string = " ".join(string)
This returns,
'111 East Sego Lily Drive, Suite 200 Sandy UT 84070'
What I am looking for,
'111 East Sego Lily Drive, Suite 200 Sandy, UT 84070'
CodePudding user response:
Instead of the OrderedDict you could do a little workaround to prevent from removing duplicate ,
or anything you define. Like this:
import nltk.tokenize as nltk
string = '111 East Sego Lily Drive Lily Drive, Suite 200 Sandy, UT 84070'
s = nltk.word_tokenize(string)
uniques = set()
res = []
for word in s:
if word not in uniques or word==',':
uniques.add(word)
res.append(word)
out = ' '.join(res).replace(' ,', ',')
print(out)
111 East Sego Lily Drive, Suite 200 Sandy, UT 84070
