Question

import re
line = "the heart was made to be broken"
line_split2 = re.split(r'[ \t\n\r, ]+',line)

def chunks(line_split2, n):
    for i in xrange(0, len(line_split2), n):
        yield line_split2[i:i+n]

separate_word = list(chunks(line_split2, 3))

import pprint
pprint.pprint(separate_word)

count = 0
for lines in separate_word:
    count = count + 1
    print count

I am trying to merge list for display as sentence and display line number in front of them.

1 the heart was
2 made to be
3 broken

Any suggest?

Answer 1

Use enumerate() to keep track of the line you’re in:

for i, word in enumerate(separate_word, 1):
    print i, ' '.join(word)
