How to replace dots in Python?

1 New Member
Here's the question I need to replace '.'s with a word such as 'DOT' which will be defined lets say to replace_dots,
So when I use
replace_dots 'hello.'
It should print out
helloDOT

Use string method replace().
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. >>> s = ".abcdef"
  2. >>> s
  3. '.abcdef'
  4. >>> s.replace(".", "?")
  5. '?abcdef'
  6. >>>

Regular expressions would be a option too
