I was trying the following code snippet for a project of mine:
scrap=['Theodore von Kármán Lecture', 'Science Journey: "The Origin of Photosynthesis: A Window into the Intricate Relationship Between Life and the World Around It"', 'Science Journey: "Addressing Energy Storage Challenges: Making Electrolytes That Can Help Batteries Store More Energy"', 'Science Journey: "Defects in Crystals: The Tiniest Engineering Tool"'] for i in scrap: words_in_scrap = i.split() # print("words_in_scrap=",words_in_scrap) for j in words_in_scrap: words = j.lower() # print(words) for k in words: # print(k) if k in punc: words = words.replace(k,"") # print(words) # print(k) clean = words #corrected lot # print(clean) c_list = [] c_list.append(clean) print(c_list)
I got this output:
['theodore'] ['von'] ['kármán'] ['lecture'] ['science'] ['journey'] ['the'] ['origin'] ['of'] ['photosynthesis'] ['a'] ['window'] ['into'] ['the'] ['intricate'] ['relationship'] ['between'] ['life'] ['and'] ['the'] ['world'] ['around'] ['it'] ['science'] ['journey'] ['addressing'] ['energy'] ['storage'] ['challenges'] ['making'] ['electrolytes'] ['that'] ['can'] ['help'] ['batteries'] ['store'] ['more'] ['energy'] ['science'] ['journey'] ['defects'] ['in'] ['crystals'] ['the'] ['tiniest'] ['engineering'] ['tool']
I want all of these output lists to be put into one list, like:
[‘theodore’,’von’,’karman’,’science’,………….]
I understand that these individual outputs were produced due to loops, I’ve tried to do .append() for doing this and ended up with the c_list and they turned out to be independent lists. Any solution to this will be highly valued and appreciated. Thanks!

scrap=['Theodore von Kármán Lecture', 'Science Journey: "The Origin of Photosynthesis: A Window into the Intricate Relationship Between Life and the World Around It"', 'Science Journey: "Addressing Energy Storage Challenges: Making Electrolytes That Can Help Batteries Store More Energy"', 'Science Journey: "Defects in Crystals: The Tiniest Engineering Tool"'] punc = [".","/",":"] c_list = [] for i in scrap: words_in_scrap = i.split() # print("words_in_scrap=",words_in_scrap) for j in words_in_scrap: words = j.lower() # print(words) for k in words: # print(k) if k in punc: words = words.replace(k,"") # print(words) # print(k) clean = words #corrected lot # print(clean) c_list.append(clean) print(c_list)
I assumes punc
is tab list of punctuation.
Is this working for you ?
output :
[‘theodore’, ‘von’, ‘kármán’, ‘lecture’, ‘science’, ‘journey:’, ‘”the’, ‘origin’, ‘of’, ‘photosynthesis:’, ‘a’, ‘window’, ‘into’, ‘the’, ‘intricate’, ‘relationship’, ‘between’, ‘life’, ‘and’, ‘the’, ‘world’, ‘around’, ‘it”‘, ‘science’, ‘journey:’, ‘”addressing’, ‘energy’, ‘storage’, ‘challenges:’, ‘making’, ‘electrolytes’, ‘that’, ‘can’, ‘help’, ‘batteries’, ‘store’, ‘more’, ‘energy”‘, ‘science’, ‘journey:’, ‘”defects’, ‘in’, ‘crystals:’, ‘the’, ‘tiniest’, ‘engineering’, ‘tool”‘]
