#!/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
