PunctuationStripper

PunctuationStripper is a Python package that can be used to strip punctuation from a file. It is easy to use and can be installed via pip:

pip install punctuationstripper

Once installed, you can use the punctuationstripper command to strip punctuation from a file. The basic syntax is:

punctuationstripper -f [-n ] [-p ]

where:

• <filename> is the name of the file that you want to strip of punctuation.
• <newfilename> is the name of the new file that you want to save the stripped text to. If you do not specify a new filename, the program will save the stripped text to a new file named <filename>_new.txt.
• <punct> is a string of characters that you do not want to strip from the text. For example, if you want to keep all periods and commas in the text, you would specify punct=".,".

For example, to strip all punctuation from the file my_file.txt and save the stripped text to a new file named my_file_new.txt, you would use the following command:

punctuationstripper -f my_file.txt -n my_file_new.txt

You can also use the -p option to specify a string of characters that you do not want to strip from the text. For example, to strip all punctuation from the file my_file.txt (and save it as `my_file_new.txt) except for periods and commas, you would use the following command:

punctuationstripper -f my_file.txt -p ".,"

PunctuationStripper is a powerful tool that can be used to clean up text data. It is easy to use and can be customized to meet your specific needs.
