Getting words by words of a string keeping the spacing between each words












0















my_string= 'EXPLORE  DATA.. ADD INTELLIGENCE..GET VALUABLE INSIGHTS…'


Expected output:.



EXPLORE
EXPLORE DATA..
EXPLORE DATA.. ADD


I have tried with re.sub("[^w]", " ", my_string).split()



which gives: ['EXPLORE', 'DATA', 'ADD', 'INTELLIGENCE', 'GET', 'VALUABLE', 'INSIGHTS']



While taking first two string it will be EXPLORE DATA which does not keep the actual spacing in the my_string. Expected is EXPLORE DATA... How to get the expected output. Like first word, then first two words, then first 3 words..and so on.

          You can do it by using the index of those word list that you have created



          import re

          my_string = 'EXPLORE DATA.. ADD INTELLIGENCE..GET VALUABLE INSIGHTS…'
          word_list = re.sub("[^w]", " ", my_string).split()
          for word in word_list:
          end_index = my_string.find(word) + len(word) // get the index at the end of the word
          print(my_string[:end_index])


          This results in



          EXPLORE                                                                                                              
          EXPLORE DATA
          EXPLORE DATA.. ADD
          EXPLORE DATA.. ADD INTELLIGENCE
          EXPLORE DATA.. ADD INTELLIGENCE..GET
          EXPLORE DATA.. ADD INTELLIGENCE..GET VALUABLE
          EXPLORE DATA.. ADD INTELLIGENCE..GET VALUABLE INSIGHTS
