I am trying remove all punctuation except comma. I am doing the following

import re
st = "here comes, 'lot of', cover"
st = re.sub(r'[^\w\s],', '', st )

But it also removes the comma.

CodePudding user response：

import re
st = "here comes, 'lot of', cover"
print(re.sub(r"[^\w\d,\s] ",'',st))

Specify all the elements you don't want removed,after ^ and with in square brackets i.e., matches anything except

Try doing [^\w\s,].
