如果用引号引起来，如何删除字符串中的特定字符

Question

I have a string:

"Yes, We do. This is a complex issue that deserves more than a one word answer," Zuckerberg said. Pallone called the response "disappointing."

What is the best way to remove dot mark (.) if it in between the quotation marks using Python? the expected result is like:

"Yes, We do This is a complex issue that deserves more than a one word answer," Zuckerberg said. Pallone called the response "disappointing"

Thank you

You can capture all quotes "..." with regex (\\"[\\s\\S]*?\\") and handle the replace in a loop. First replace the . and store into newquote . Then replace the old quote with the new one.

import re;

s = '"Yes, We do. This is a complex issue that deserves more than a one word answer," Zuckerberg said. Pallone called the response "disappointing."';

pattern = re.compile(r'(\"[\s\S]*?\")');

for (quote) in re.findall(pattern, s):
    newquote = quote.replace('.', '');
    s = s.replace(quote, newquote);

print s;
