for example the text looks something like
sentence = "blah blah blah jnfskjndflah"
and i only want to replace "lah" with nothing only if there is more than one letter ahead of it with re.sub() on python
so just replace it in "jnfskjndflah" but not "blah" if that makes sense and the sentence will look like "blah blah blah jnfskjndf".
i had it as s = re.sub("[*az]lah", "", sentence)
but the outcome was "blah blah blah jnfskjnd" (missing the f)
any help is appreciated!
You can you a positive lookbehing asserting 2 chars az for example
(?<=[a-z]{2})lah
import re
sentence = "blah blah blah jnfskjndflah"
s = re.sub("(?<=[a-z]{2})lah", "", sentence)
print(s)
Output
blah blah blah jnfskjndf
