Identify strings while removing substrings in python

Question

I have a dictionary of words with their frequencies as follows.

mydictionary = {\'yummy tim tam\':3, \'milk\':2, \'chocolates\':5, \'biscuit pudding\':3, \'sugar         


        

Answer 1

Use word boundary '\b'. In simple words

recipes_book = "For todays lesson we will show you how to make biscuit pudding using 
yummy tim tam milk and rawsugar"

>>> re.findall(r'(?is)(\bchocolates\b|\bbiscuit pudding\b|\bsugar\b|\byummy tim tam\b|\bmilk\b)',recipes_book)
['biscuit pudding', 'yummy tim tam', 'milk']
