I have a dataset and ,when I am encountering an emoticons without any space , I want to place space around them but I don't know few things
I have this list
sentences=["HiRob","swiggy",""].
how to compare them as they are stored as strings.
How to put spaces around them?
Desired output
sentences=["HiRob ","swiggy"," "]
My basic problem is to put spaces around them.
You can use the emoji package to simplify a bit your code.
from emoji import UNICODE_EMOJI
# search your emoji
def is_emoji(s, language="en"):
return s in UNICODE_EMOJI[language]
# add space near your emoji
def add_space(text):
return ''.join(' ' + char if is_emoji(char) else char for char in text).strip()
sentences=["HiRob","swiggy",""]
results=[add_space(text) for text in sentences]
print(results)
output
['HiRob ', 'swiggy', ' ']

if add_space looks like black magic, here is a friendlier alternative:
def add_space(text):
result = ''
for char in text:
if is_emoji(char):
result += ' '
result += char
return result.strip()
