I have a exclusion_list = ['and', 'or', 'not']

My string is 'Nick is not or playing football and or not cricket'

In the string if exclusion_list is coming together then it should take first one

My expected out is 'Nick is not playing football and cricket'

Code is below

search_value = 'Nick is not or playing football and or not cricket'
exclusion_list =  ['and', 'or', 'not']
search_value_2 = search_value.split(' ')
for i in range(len(search_value_2)):
    if search_value_2[i] in exclusion_list and search_value_2[i+1] in exclusion_list:
        search_value_2.replace(search_value_2[i+1], '')
' '.join(search_value_2)

As from suggestion i have modified the code

search_value = 'Nick is not or playing football and or not cricket'
exclusion_list =  ['and', 'or', 'not']
search_value_2 = search_value.split(' ')
for i in range(0,len(search_value_2)-2):
    if search_value_2[i] in exclusion_list and search_value_2[i+1] in exclusion_list:
        search_value_2.remove(search_value_2[i+1])
' '.join(search_value_2)

My out>> 'Nick is not playing football and not cricket'

Expected out> 'Nick is not playing football and cricket'

replace doesn't replace the string in place, it returns a new one – Sayse Apr 28 '22 at 07:30
@sayse so what to modified inthe code – sim Apr 28 '22 at 07:32
`i` is an integer so `i in exclusion_list` will be always `False` hence the conditional is useless – cards Apr 28 '22 at 07:33
@cards i have edited, still same error – sim Apr 28 '22 at 07:35
I don't think the duplicate tackles the main problem of the code. – Matthias Apr 28 '22 at 07:35
also the condition on the right of `and` is wrong (same problem) – cards Apr 28 '22 at 07:35
and the `replace`... – cards Apr 28 '22 at 07:36
@cards I have modified that also, i got index out of range – sim Apr 28 '22 at 07:40
and the last index (due to `i+1`) ... – Matthias Apr 28 '22 at 07:40
@Matthias correct i need to consider only `i` not `i+1`, i+1 has to delete if its coming together – sim Apr 28 '22 at 07:42
I think the best a more straightforward way is to use a regular expression – cards Apr 28 '22 at 07:43
@cards not having good knowledge on regex – sim Apr 28 '22 at 07:43
it could be the right momemnt then:) – cards Apr 28 '22 at 07:45
Based on the original code I have an answer ready, but since the question is still closed I can't show it. – Matthias Apr 28 '22 at 07:48
@Matthias do i need to ask again? or you can edit the question itself – sim Apr 28 '22 at 07:51
We already have two reopen votes, but if no others come in the question will still be closed. If you ask a new question I'll answer that. – Matthias Apr 28 '22 at 07:54
@Matthias i have almost reached the answer, can you check edited one – sim Apr 28 '22 at 07:57
You made parts of it worse. Never delete something from a list while you're iterating over it. Since this is not a discussion forum I will stop commenting here now. Either wait until this question is reopened (might never happen) or ask a new question. – Matthias Apr 28 '22 at 08:01
