I have asked a question here which was answered. In this question I want to generalise my case to dealwith string of words. Suppose I have the following lists:
l = {"ONIONTOMATO", "BUTTERMILK", "BUTTERWHEAT"};
ll = {{"butter", "cinnamon", "egg", "milk", "starch", "vanilla",
"wheat"}, {"bay", "beef", "black_pepper", "cane_molasses", "lamb",
"onion", "potato", "tamarind", "tomato", "vegetable_oil",
"vinegar", "wheat"}}
I want to look at each l
ie l[[1]]
, l[[2]]
and l[[3]]
and make a replacement in ll
. So that I get 3 lists. For l[[1]]
:
{{"butter", "cinnamon", "egg", "milk", "starch", "vanilla",
"wheat"}, {"bay", "beef", "black_pepper", "cane_molasses", "lamb",
"ONIONTOMATO", "potato", "tamarind", "vegetable_oil",
"vinegar", "wheat"}}
For l[[2]]
:
{{"BUTTERMILK", "cinnamon", "egg", "starch", "vanilla",
"wheat"}, {"bay", "beef", "black_pepper", "cane_molasses", "lamb",
"onion", "potato", "tamarind", "tomato", "vegetable_oil",
"vinegar", "wheat"}}
And for l[[3]]
:
{{"BUTTERWHEAT", "cinnamon", "egg", "milk", "starch", "vanilla",
}, {"bay", "beef", "black_pepper", "cane_molasses", "lamb",
"onion", "potato", "tamarind", "tomato", "vegetable_oil",
"vinegar", "wheat"}}
If words in l
were characters, as in the previous question, one could use
replace = Replace[ll, {OrderlessPatternSequence[ a___, ## & @@ ToLowerCase[Characters@#], b___]} :> {a, #, b}, \[Infinity]] &;
But I am not sure how to proceed in this case. I have tried to change Characters
to String
in definition of replace
but this did not work.
Edit: Please note that my original ll
size has length of 56498 and my l
has length of 72390 this methods seems only work for my example. So naturally I am looking for an answer which can be applied.
