Last Updated : 30 Sep, 2019
With the help of nltk.tokenize.WordPunctTokenizer()() method, we are able to extract the tokens from string of words or sentences in the form of Alphabetic and Non-Alphabetic character by using tokenize.WordPunctTokenizer()() method.
Syntax : tokenize.WordPunctTokenizer()() Return : Return the tokens from a string of alphabetic or non-alphabetic character.
Example #1 : In this example we can see that by using tokenize.WordPunctTokenizer()() method, we are able to extract the tokens from stream of alphabetic or non-alphabetic character. Python3 1=1
# import WordPunctTokenizer() method from nltk
from nltk.tokenize import WordPunctTokenizer
   
# Create a reference variable for Class WordPunctTokenizer
tk = WordPunctTokenizer()
   
# Create a string input
gfg = "GeeksforGeeks...$$&* \nis\t for geeks"
   
# Use tokenize method
geek = tk.tokenize(gfg)
   
print(geek)
Output :
['GeeksforGeeks', '...$$&*', 'is', 'for', 'geeks']
Example #2 : Python3 1==
# import WordPunctTokenizer() method from nltk
from nltk.tokenize import WordPunctTokenizer
   
# Create a reference variable for Class WordPunctTokenizer
tk = WordPunctTokenizer()
   
# Create a string input
gfg = "The price\t of burger \nin BurgerKing is Rs.36.\n"
   
# Use tokenize method
geek = tk.tokenize(gfg)
   
print(geek)
Output :
['The', 'price', 'of', 'burger', 'in', 'BurgerKing', 'is', 'Rs', '.', '36', '.']
