re库运用_编写函数替换英文小说中的人称代词

近期作业，刚好复习一下re库和正则表达式

题目：选取一段英文小说，将文中的人称代词（I，you， she等）替换为“**”

编写函数如下：

def replaceWord(wordList, repl, contents): # wordlist为需要替换的字符数组，repl为替换词，contents为需要处理的文本
    import re
    # 将单词组转化为正则表达式原生字符串 格式如r'|(\s(abc)\s)|(\s(bcd)\s)'
    word = "r'|"
    n = len(wordList)
    for i in range(0, n):
        cur = '(\s(' + wordList[i] + ')\s)' # 为确保单词内的字母不被转换，将正则表达式设置前后空格检测
        if i != n-1:
            cur += '|'
        word += cur
    word += "'"
    
    # 替换
    repl = ' '+repl+' '  # 替换词前后增加空格保证阅读体验
    contents = ' ' + contents + ' '  # 避免首尾单词检测不出
    ans = re.sub(word, repl, contents, flags = re.I)
    
    # 返回处理后文本
    return ans

调用结果如下：

wordList = ['I', 'you', 'we', 'she', 'he',  'it', 'they', 'we']
contents = "I did not. They aren't here. I'm sorry. I need those papers very much. I may lose a large sum of money if I don't find them. I can't see what could have happened to them. I had them on my desk in the office yesterday, and I was looking at them when Mr. Johnson came along to see about buying some lumber6 from the pile in the yard next to my office."
print(replaceWord(wordList, '**', contents))

## 结果：
##  ** did not. ** aren't here. I'm sorry. ** need those papers very much. ** may lose a large sum of money if ** don't find them. ** can't see what could have happened to them. ** had them on my desk in the office yesterday, and ** was looking at them when Mr. Johnson came along to see about buying some lumber6 from the pile in the yard next to my office.
