python - remove string from words in an array
- by tekknolagi
#!/usr/bin/python
#this looks for words in dictionary that begin with 'in' and the suffix is a real word
wordlist = [line.strip() for line in open('/usr/share/dict/words')]
newlist = []
for word in wordlist:
if word.startswith("in"):
newlist.append(word)
for word in newlist:
word = word.split('in')
print newlist
how would I get the program to remove the string "in" from all the words that it starts with? right now it does not work
