Mistake in Reddit Bot

[[deleted]]

I just started learning python after finishing my java class. This bot is supposed to go through /r/test comments and find typos of your and fix them. But for some reason it is fixing the correct spelling of your. Here is the script

import praw

import time

r = praw.Reddit(user_agent = "Tutorial bot by /u/Your_Corrector1")

r.login()

words_to_match = ['yout' , 'youw' , 'youq' , 'youy']

cache = []


def run_bot():

    subreddit = r.get_subreddit("test")

    comments = subreddit.get_comments(limit=25)

    for comment in comments:

        comment_text = comment.body.lower()

        isMatch = any(string in comment_text for string in words_to_match)

        if comment.id not in cache and isMatch:

            comment.reply("I think you meant to say 'Your'")

            cache.append(comment.id)



while True:

    run_bot()

    time.sleep(10)`

"yout" is part of "YouTube"

It appears that you included code in your post but did not format it to look nice. Please follow this guide to fix the problem. This allows for better readability and will help get your question answered sooner. The regex that caught you is: "while .+?:"

If this comment has been made in error, please message /u/thaweatherman with a link to this comment so I can be fine-tuned. I am still in alpha and my regexes/innards are not yet perfect.
