Hello,
For a exerise I made this one :"
import string
def extract_words(s):
"""
>>> extract_words('Now is the time! "Now", is the time? Yes, now.')
['now', 'is', 'the', 'time', 'now', 'is', 'the', 'time', 'yes', 'now']
>>> extract_words('she tried to curtsey as she spoke--fancy')
['she', 'tried', 'to', 'curtsey', 'as', 'she', 'spoke', 'fancy']
"""
word= ""
s=string.lower(s)
for char in s :
if ord(char) >=65 and ord(char) <= 122 or ord(char)==32 or
ord(char)==45:
word= word + char
word=string.split(word, "--")
word=string.join(word, " ")
word=word.replace (" ", " ")
word=string.split(word, " ")
return word
if __name__ == '__main__':
import doctest
doctest.testmod()
But now I wonder if this can be done more easerly ?
