The count isn't returned by the replace method. You'll have to count
and then replace.
def count_replace(a , b, c):
count = a.count(b)
return count, s.replace(b, c) count_replace(" a car and a carriage", "car", "bat")
(2, 'a bat and a batriage')

I thought naively that scanning a long string twice would be almost
twice as slow compared to when counting was done along with replacing.
Although it can done with a single scan, it is almost 9-10 times
slower, mainly because of the function call overhead; the code is also
longer:
import re
def count_replace_s low(aString, old, new):
count = [0]
def counter(match):
count[0] += 1
return new
replaced = re.sub(old,coun ter,aString)
return count[0], replaced
A good example of trying to be smart and failing :)

If 'a' and 'b' are different length,
- Count the string length, before and after. The difference should
be multiple of difference between length of 'a' and 'b'.
If they are same length,
- Split 'mytext', and count items.

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for all your replies.
My requirement is as follows:
I need to read a text file, eliminate certain special characters(like !
, - = + ), and then convert it to lower case and then remove certain
stopwords(like and, a, an, by, the etc) which is there in another txt
file.
Then, i need to run it thru a stemmer(a program which converts words
like running to run, ie, converts them to roots words).

I am wanting to find any instance in a string where more then on occurance of a value occurs and replace it with a single occurance of the value. Specifically I want to search a text field and find any time where more then a single ' (tic) occurs in succession, and replace it with a single ' (tic).
Can this be done with a RegularExpression? Any example of how to do this?

Dear friends
I have a large string with the character "*" spread randomly in the string.
My goal is to search the string for the character "*" and retrieve the
string with these removed. How is the best way to achieve this?

Is there an efficient line of code to count the number of instances of one
string within another.
If I have the sentence:
"I want to go to the park, and then go home."
It would give me a count of 2 for the word "go"

Hi,
My VB is very rusty I'm afraid! What would be the most efficient way to
remove the following ASCII characters from a string?
à è ì ò ù À È Ì Ò Ù
á é í ó ú ý Á É Í Ó Ú Ý
â ê î ô û Â Ê Î Ô Û
ã ñ õ Ã Ñ Õ
ä ë ï ö ü ÿ Ä Ë Ï Ö Ü Y o O æ Æ

I was trying to use back-to-back replace functions to convert a url:
str1 =
str.replace("%2F","/").replace("%3F","?").replace("%3D","=").replace("%2
6","&");
It didn't replace all 4 types of strings.
Then, I googled and found this suggestion of some JavaScript Tutorials,
so I used replace with a regex with a global switch:
