I have two lists:
wrong_chars = [
['أ','إ','ٱ','ٲ','ٳ','ٵ'],
['ٮ','ݕ','ݖ','ﭒ','ﭓ','ﭔ'],
['ڀ','ݐ','ݔ','ﭖ','ﭗ','ﭘ'],
['ٹ','ٺ','ٻ','ټ','ݓ','ﭞ'],
]
true_chars = [
['ا'],
['ب'],
['پ'],
['ت'],
]
For a given string I want to replace the entries in wrong_chars
with those in true_chars
. Is there a clean way to do that in python?
string
module to the rescue!
There's a really handy function as a part of the string
module called translate
that does exactly what you're looking for, though you'll have to pass in your translation mapping as a dictionary.
The documentation is here
An example based on a tutorial from tutoriapoint is shown below:
>>> from string import maketrans
>>> trantab = maketrans("aeiou", "12345")
>>> "this is string example....wow!!!".translate(trantab)
th3s 3s str3ng 2x1mpl2....w4w!!!
It looks like you're using unicode here though, which works slightly differently. You can look at this question to get a sense, but here's an example that should work for you more specifically:
translation_dict = {}
for i, char_list in enumerate(wrong_chars):
for char in char_list:
translation_dict[ord(char)] = true_chars[i]
example.translate(translation_dict)
I merged your two wrong and true chars in a list of dictionaries of wrongs and what should be replaced with them. so here you are:
link to a working sample http://ideone.com/mz7E0R
and code itself
given_string = "ayznobcyn"
correction_list = [
{"wrongs":['x','y','z'],"true":'x'},
{"wrongs":['m','n','o'],"true":'m'},
{"wrongs":['q','r','s','t'],"true":'q'}
]
processed_string = ""
true_char = ""
for s in given_string:
for correction in correction_list:
true_char=s
if s in correction['wrongs']:
true_char=correction['true']
break
processed_string+=true_char
print given_string
print processed_string
this code can be more optimized and of course i do not care about unicode problems if there was any, because i see you are using Farsi. you should take care about that.
#!/usr/bin/env python
from __future__ import unicode_literals
wrong_chars = [
['1', '2', '3'],
['4', '5', '6'],
['7'],
]
true_chars = 'abc'
table = {}
for keys, value in zip(wrong_chars, true_chars):
table.update(dict.fromkeys(map(ord, keys), value))
print("123456789".translate(table))

In my idea you can make just one list that contain true characters too like this:
NewChars = {["ا"،"أ"،"إ"،"آ"], ["ب"،"بِ"،"بِ"،]}
# add all true characters to the first of lists and add all lists to a dict, then:
Ch="إ"
For L in NewChars:
If Ch in L: return L[0]
