Dear mohtashims,
[reply before original post edited]
With nearly 1000 posts on this site; you well know the culture here by this time.
You should post your code, what you have tried.
As you know, all of this kind of basic text processing is "possible" and there is no best way to do it and there is no "right or wrong" ways. What works for "person a" may not be the best solution for "person b".. and so forth.
As Yoda said in Star Wars, "There is no try".... "Only Do". (or something like that).
So, if you want to process some text, you should choose your tools of choice (based on your computing culture and environment) and you can then write your own code to process your text and post your code here, post your sample input, your sample output and any error messages, and they and only then, as for help based on your code, input, output and error messages (if any) along with the details of your operating system.
@Neo Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I was not sure if my approach is good / correct and hence did not share the attempts made.
I have updated my original post with the code of what I tried.
