Method which would prompt the user for input and then output that same input, replacing each space w-CodePudding

txt = input("Please type in your text here ")

txt = txt.expandtabs(3)

print(txt)

I found this built-in method in the python documentation but it doesn't seem to do the job. Which method should I go for instead? The goal here is to render 3 periods (...) for every empty space the user types in.

CodePudding user response：

expandtabs() is used for setting the tab size and not replacing the spaces. However, you can use str.replace() to replace any given substring with another.

txt = input("Please type in your text here ")
txt = txt.replace(' ', '...')
print(txt)
