I've got a regexp string with only | and () like :
(Hello|Hi) my name is (Bob|Robert)
And I would like to have the complete list of string who match the regexp :
Hello my name is Bob Hello my name is Robert Hi my name is Bob Hi my name is Robert
Is it a tool (librairy) who already do this ?
My first problem is to split the regexp string into a array of array like :
[['Hello','Hi'],'my name is' ,['Bob','Robert']]
Try exrex, think that should work for you
Simple script
import exrex
print(list(exrex.generate('(Hello|Hi) my name is (Bob|Robert)')))
Output
→ python new_test.py
['Hello my name is Bob', 'Hello my name is Robert', 'Hi my name is Bob', 'Hi my
name is Robert']
Do it with regex:-)
re.split(r"(\(.+?\|.+?\))",s)
Out: ['', '(Hello|Hi)', ' my name is ', '(Bob|Robert)', '']
# and for each string in the list:
re.split(r"\((.+?)\|(.+?)\)",'(Hello|Hi)')
Out: ['', 'Hello', 'Hi', '']
You can try below solution, here I haven't imported any module. The only functions used are strip, split and replace
input_string = "(Hello|Hi) my name is (Bob|Robert)"
split_string = (input_string.replace("("," ").replace(")"," ")).split(" ")
print ([i.strip().split("|") for i in split_string])
#Output --> [['Hello', 'Hi'], ['my name is'], ['Bob', 'Robert']]
I hope this helps!
If you need the final solution to your query then use below code:
from itertools import product
input_string = "(Hello|Hi) my name is (Bob|Robert)"
split_string = (input_string.replace("("," ").replace(")"," ")).split(" ")
jj = [i.strip().split("|") for i in split_string]
kk = list(product(*jj))
print ([" ".join(i) for i in kk])
#output --> ['Hello my name is Bob', 'Hello my name is Robert', 'Hi my name is Bob', 'Hi my name is Robert']
The above code will also work for: input_string = "(Hello|Hi|Hey) my (name|naam) is (Bob|Robert)"
