I have a string with different words in Python. The string is connected with a “-” between the words and the spaces, as shown in the example below.
asiatische-Gerichte----wuerzige-Gerichte----vegetarische-Sommerrolle--------Smokey-Pulled-Pork-Burger----
I tried using the replace and split method to remove the “-” in the spaces. However, I can only get it to remove them all, but I need the hyphens between the words.
My expected result is shown below:
asiatische-Gerichte wuerzige-Gerichte vegetarische-Sommerrolle Smokey-Pulled-Pork-Burger

Answer
Use re.sub
to replace all occurrences of 2 or more dashes in a row with a space:
s = re.sub(r'-{2,}', ' ', s)
