Write a Python NLTK program to remove Twitter username handles from a given twitter text.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
from nltk.tokenize import TweetTokenizer
tknzr = TweetTokenizer(strip_handles=True)
tweet_text = "@abcd @pqrs NoSQL introduction - w3resource http://bit.ly/1ngHC5F #nosql #database #webdev"
print("\nOriginal Tweet:")
print(tweet_text)
result = tknzr.tokenize(tweet_text)
print("\nTokenize a twitter text:")
print(result)
Sample Output:
Original Tweet: @abcd @pqrs NoSQL introduction - w3resource http://bit.ly/1ngHC5F #nosql #database #webdev Tokenize a twitter text: ['NoSQL', 'introduction', '-', 'w3resource', 'http://bit.ly/1ngHC5F', '#nosql', '#database', '#webdev']
