i have a list of sentences called "data" and i carried out an operation of soundex.
i dont know how to store it in a variable.. here is my code:
for line in data:
for word in line.split():
print jellyfish.soundex(word)
that gives me a list of soundex codes for all words..
how do i store the results in a variable?? i have tried:
data_new = [(jellyfish.soundex(word) for word in line.split()) for line in data]
but that did not help.
Use list comprehension instead of generator expression:
data_new = [[jellyfish.soundex(word) for word in line.split()] for line in data]
Or, if you want flat list:
data_new = [jellyfish.soundex(word) for line in data for word in line.split()]
data from the generated data_new. No you can't. (You may use ' '.joni(...), but it will not give you exactly same string because str.split remove consecutive whitespaces.)Remove the generator expression from within the comprehension:
data_new = [jellyfish.soundex(word) for line in data for word in line.split() ]
Remove the parentheses around (jellyfish.soundex(word) for word in line.split()), which is a generator expression (see for example generator comprehension). The result,
data_new = [jellyfish.soundex(word) for word in line.split() for line in data]
should give you what you seem to want.
data_new = [[jellyfish.soundex(word) for word in line.split()] for line in data]
