NLTK Tokenize: Split all punctuation into separate tokens

NLTK Tokenize: Exercise-4 with Solution

Write a Python NLTK program to split all punctuation into separate tokens.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

from nltk.tokenize import WordPunctTokenizer
text = "Reset your password if you just can't remember your old one."
print("\nOriginal string:")
print(text)
result = WordPunctTokenizer().tokenize(text)
print("\nSplit all punctuation into separate tokens:")
print(result)

Sample Output:

Original string:
Reset your password if you just can't remember your old one.

Split all punctuation into separate tokens:
['Reset', 'your', 'password', 'if', 'you', 'just', 'can', "'", 't', 'remember', 'your', 'old', 'one', '.']
