Remove single letter words from sentences in lists

Question

I have the following list:

ip= ['a boy called me z there', 'what u doing b over there ', "come w me t the end']

I want to remove all the single letters from each of these strings within the list.

I have tried the following but it does not work:

x = [[w for w in c if (len(w)>1)] for c in ip]

I want to convert my ip such that I get the following output op :

op= ['boy called me there', 'what doing over there ', "come me the end']

Answer 1

When iterating ip by c, c becomes a char (eg, 'a', ' ', 'b', 'o', 'y', ' ', ...)

So, try split each sentence by space and count the length.

Example code is here.

op = [' '.join([w for w in c.split(' ') if len(w) >= 2]) for c in ip]

Answer 2

try

for i in ip:
  p=i.split()
op=[]
for i in p:
  if(len(i)==1 ):
    op.append(i)

Answer 3

I'd clean up the variable names for clarity, and you might want to break out the list comprehensions for readability, but either will function as expected.

sentences = ['a boy called me z there', 'what u doing b over there ', "come w me t the end"]
processed = [' '.join(word for word in sentence.split(' ') if len(word) > 1) for sentence in sentences]
