Question

whats wrong with this Python code !!

# This program removes names and email addresses occurring in a given input file and saves it in an output file.

import re
def deidentify():
infilename = input("Give the input file name: ")
outfilename = input("Give the output file name: ")

infile = open(infilename,"r")
outfile = open(outfilename,"w")

for line in infile:
detail=line.split(",")
name=detail[1];
email=detail[2];
  

# replace names
nameRE = "(Ms.|Mr.|Dr.|Prof.) [A-Z][a-z](.|+) [A-Z][a-z](|+) [A-Z][a-z](|+) [A-Z][a-z]"
# improve this regular expression
deidentified_name = re.sub(nameRE,"**name**",text)
print(deidentified_name,file=outfile)

# replace email addresses
emialRE = "Email id:"
deidentified_email = re.sub(emailRE,"**email**",mail)
print(deidentified_name,file=outfile)

outfile.close()
infile.close()
deidentify()

Explanation / Answer

As per my concern problem is with your regex expression

use this

If you use objects or dictionaries...this situatioin can handle easilt rather than re.sub

When I do this operations in java I usually i prefer objects which can handle easily
