Python slice text

Question

I have a word and I want check it section by section. If I divide the word as follows:

word='systematically'

1. Split the word based on vowels. So we could have :
new_list = []
word_list = ['sys','te','ma','ti','cal','ly',]

2. Then check each one and if true based on my conditions, reset the list.
If len(word_list[0]) == 3 and word_list[0]== 'CVC':
new_list.append(word_list[0])
#here the word list should be reset to a new one till len(word_list) is finished
word_list = ['te','ma','ti','cal','ly',]

elif len(word_list[0]) == 4:
DO THIS
elif len(word_list[0]) == 3:
DO ABOVE (IF CONDITION). (The first one)

What is your idea to implement such an idea?

Answer 2

I would try to filter the wordlist by criteria.
here with len = 3

new_List = list(filter(lambda x: len(x) == 3,word_list))

Answer 3

have you asked for something like this before?
I have done the "split on vowels" part but didn't post it because a comment I posted regarding the task didn't get a reply. should still have it in my IDE to home, I'll post tonigh.

Answer 4

import re
# example 1.
words = ["work", "because", "function", "systematically"]
for word in words:
print(re.findall(r"[^aeiou]+[aeiou]*", word))

# example 2.
print(re.findall(r"[^aeiou]+[aeiou]*", "systematically"))

# or:-
for x in re.findall(r"[^aeiou]+[aeiou]*", "systematically"):
# do what you need here for each of the substrings.

Answer 5

Thanks Jan Markus .
You are right. I searched and find that module but it didn’t updated from so long ago. Is there anything better. (other than nltk)

Answer 6

Before I post the code....is there an error in you example:-
"word_list =['sys','te','ma','ti','cal','ly',]"?
.....the "sys" and "te" are not split on vowels?

Answer 7

I wanted to split the long words based on vowels (including them) and then based on their length do some if conditions. not only filter those are three characters.
word='systematically'
word_list =['sys','te','ma','ti','cal','ly',]
if the first condition on word_list[0] is true, then
word_list = ['te','ma','ti','cal','ly',]

Answer 8

I had some similar questions but about reset the value of list, no!

Answer 9

Thanks Jan Markus
I will test it.

Answer 10

you are right. it should be based on vowels.

Answer 11

I will check and let you know. Thanks for your time.
