How to replace symbols in string:-CodePudding

I have a next code and next files:

import re
        
with open("forbidden_words.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8") as stop, open(f'{input()}', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
    stop_words = stop.readline().split(" ")
    text_file = file.readline()
    for i in stop_words:
        text_file = re.sub(i, '*'*len(i), text_file, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
    print(text_file)

And I have the following problem: my code does not replace everything that needs to be replaced, what should I replace in my code to fix it?

CodePudding user response：

with open("forbidden_words.txt", encoding="utf-8") as file, open(input()) as infile:
    text = infile.read()
    for f in file.read().strip("\n").split():
        pos = text.lower().find(f)
        while pos > -1:
            text = text[:pos]   "*" * len(f)   text[pos len(f):]
            pos = text.lower().find(f)
print(text)

You used the readline command when you need to use readlines commend.

Also, I recommend you try using more meaningful names, it is the best practice(read this article to understand why https://towardsdatascience.com/data-scientists-your-variable-names-are-awful-heres-how-to-fix-them-89053d2855be)

for example, your code should look more like that:

with open("forbidden_words.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8") as forbidden_file, open(f'{input()}', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as input_file:
    forbidden_words = forbidden_file.readline().split(" ")
    text_file = input_file.readline()
    for forbidden_word in forbidden_words:
        text_file = re.sub(forbidden_word, '*'*len(i), text_file, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
    print(text_file)
