Python slice text

I have a word and I want check it section by section. If I divide the word as follows: word='systematically' 1. Split the word based on vowels. So we could have : new_list = [] word_list = ['sys','te','ma','ti','cal','ly',] 2. Then check each one and if true based on my conditions, reset the list. If len(word_list[0]) == 3 and word_list[0]== 'CVC': new_list.append(word_list[0]) #here the word list should be reset to a new one till len(word_list) is finished word_list = ['te','ma','ti','cal','ly',] elif len(word_list[0]) == 4: DO THIS elif len(word_list[0]) == 3: DO ABOVE (IF CONDITION). (The first one) What is your idea to implement such an idea?

I would try to filter the wordlist by criteria. here with len = 3 new_List = list(filter(lambda x: len(x) == 3,word_list))

have you asked for something like this before? I have done the "split on vowels" part but didn't post it because a comment I posted regarding the task didn't get a reply. should still have it in my IDE to home, I'll post tonigh.

import re # example 1. words = ["work", "because", "function", "systematically"] for word in words: print(re.findall(r"[^aeiou]+[aeiou]*", word)) # example 2. print(re.findall(r"[^aeiou]+[aeiou]*", "systematically")) # or:- for x in re.findall(r"[^aeiou]+[aeiou]*", "systematically"): # do what you need here for each of the substrings.

Thanks Jan Markus . You are right. I searched and find that module but it didn’t updated from so long ago. Is there anything better. (other than nltk)

Before I post the code....is there an error in you example:- "word_list =['sys','te','ma','ti','cal','ly',]"? .....the "sys" and "te" are not split on vowels?

I wanted to split the long words based on vowels (including them) and then based on their length do some if conditions. not only filter those are three characters. word='systematically' word_list =['sys','te','ma','ti','cal','ly',] if the first condition on word_list[0] is true, then word_list = ['te','ma','ti','cal','ly',]

I had some similar questions but about reset the value of list, no!
