Question

In python I need a logic for below scenario I am using split function to this.
I have string which contains input as show below.

"ID674021384 25/01/1986 heloo hi thanks 5 minutes and 25-01-1988."

"ID909900000 25-01-1986 hello 10 minutes."

And output should be as shown below which replace date format to "date" and time format to "time".

"ID674021384 date hello hi thanks time date."

"ID909900000 date hello time."

And also I need a count of date and time for each Id as show below

ID674021384 DATE:2 TIME:1

ID909900000 DATE:1 TIME:1

Answer 1

>>> import re
>>> from collections import defaultdict
>>> lines = ["ID674021384 25/01/1986 heloo hi thanks 5 minutes and 25-01-1988.", "ID909900000 25-01-1986 hello 10 minutes."]
>>> pattern = '(?P<date>\d{1,2}[/-]\d{1,2}[/-]\d{4})|(?P<time>\d+ minutes)'
>>> num_occurences = {line:defaultdict(int) for line in lines}
>>> def repl(matchobj):
        num_occurences[matchobj.string][matchobj.lastgroup] += 1
        return matchobj.lastgroup

>>> for line in lines:
        text_id = line.split(' ')[0]
        new_text = re.sub(pattern,repl,line)    
        print new_text
        print '{0} DATE:{1[date]} Time:{1[time]}'.format(text_id, num_occurences[line])
        print ''


ID674021384 date heloo hi thanks time and date.
ID674021384 DATE:2 Time:1

ID909900000 date hello time.
ID909900000 DATE:1 Time:1
