python正则表达式去除重复单词

Question

I am very new a Python

I want to change sentence if there are repeated words.

Correct

• Ex. "this just so so so nice" --> "this is just so nice"
• Ex. "this is just is is" --> "this is just is"

Right now am I using this reg. but it do all so change on letters. Ex. "My friend and i is happy" --> "My friend and is happy" (it remove the "i" and space) ERROR

text = re.sub(r'(\w+)\1', r'\1', text) #remove duplicated words in row

How can I do the same change but instead of letters it have to check on words?

Answer 1

Non- regex solution using itertools.groupby :

>>> strs = "this is just is is"
>>> from itertools import groupby
>>> " ".join([k for k,v in groupby(strs.split())])
'this is just is'
>>> strs = "this just so so so nice" 
>>> " ".join([k for k,v in groupby(strs.split())])
'this just so nice'

Answer 2

text = re.sub(r'\b(\w+)( \1\b)+', r'\1', text) #remove duplicated words in row

\\b匹配空字符串，但仅在单词的开头或结尾。

Answer 3

• \\b: Matches Word Boundaries

• \\w: Any word character

• \\1: Replaces the matches with the second word found

   import re def Remove_Duplicates(Test_string): Pattern = r"\\b(\\w+)(?:\\W\\1\\b)+" return re.sub(Pattern, r"\\1", Test_string, flags=re.IGNORECASE) Test_string1 = "Good bye bye world world" Test_string2 = "Ram went went to to his home" Test_string3 = "Hello hello world world" print(Remove_Duplicates(Test_string1)) print(Remove_Duplicates(Test_string2)) print(Remove_Duplicates(Test_string3))

Result:

    Good bye world
    Ram went to his home
    Hello world
