I'm still new to python and I was on a website that gives quizzes. This was one of the questions "In a file called playback.py, implement a program in Python that prompts the user for input and then outputs that same input, replacing each space with ... (i.e., three periods)." I don't have any idea on which method to use for this. Example of the output would be "Hello...lorem...ipsum" something like this.

What have you done so far?

Do already have a piece of code?

I don't know if I'm supposed to believe about the whole quiz deal but it's very easy to do.

Python:

print(input('Insert text:').replace(' ', '...'))

Python:

re.sub(r" ", "...", text)

will do the trick using regexs (perl user here )

Yes but I wanted you all to learn about REGEXs and I thought that would be a good occasion for it

Better to create new thread since bumping old one is against the rules
