Could someone please give me some help using the "re" module.
This works:
--------------------------------
import re
text = "Jim is a good guy"
s2 = re.sub('Jim', 'Fred', text)
print s2
and I get "Fred is a good guy"
---------------------------------
If I have:
text = "Bill Smith is nice"
how do I get rid of "Smith" and just have
"Bill is nice"
I tried
s2 = re.sub('Smith', '', text)
but it complained.
If I have:
text = "Jim likes a girl (Susan)"
and I want to get rid of "(Susan)", how do I do this.
First, the "(" seems to muck things up.
Second, how do I just use "re" to delete characters. I tried using
"sub", but it doesn't seem to like
