def retrive(s):

    tags = []
    tmp_str = ''
    s = s.strip()
    for i in range(len(s)):
        if s[i] == "#":
            indice_t.append(i)
    for i in range(len(indice_t)):
        index = indice_t[i]
        if i == len(indice_t)-1:
            boundary = len(s)
        else:
            boundary = indice_t[i+1]
        index += 1
        while index < boundary:
            if s[index] in "`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+[]{}|\\:;'"",.<>?/ \n\t":
                tags.append(tmp_str)
                tmp_str = ''
                break
            else:
                tmp_str += s[index]
                index += 1
        if tmp_str != '':
            tags.append(tmp_str)
    return tags
