Prompt Title: Python: Word Position.

Yes, there are several libraries in Python that can be used to extract the exact position of a word or phrase within a text. Here are a few examples:

1. NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit): This is a popular library for natural language processing tasks in Python. It provides a nltk.tokenize module which contains various tokenizers that can be used to split a text into words or phrases. The nltk.tokenize.word_tokenize() function can be used to tokenize a text into words, and then the index() method can be used to find the position of a specific word within the list of tokens.

   Here's an example:

   pythonCopy code
   import nltk
   from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
   
   text = "This is a sample text to demonstrate how to find the position of a word."
   word = "demonstrate"
   
   tokens = word_tokenize(text)
   position = tokens.index(word)
   
   print(f"The word '{word}' starts at position {position} in the text.")
   

   In this example, the word_tokenize() function is used to tokenize the text variable into a list of words, and then the index() method is used to find the position of the word "demonstrate" within the list of tokens.

2. Spacy: This is another popular library for natural language processing tasks in Python. It provides a spacy module which can be used to tokenize a text into words or phrases, and then extract various linguistic features such as parts-of-speech and named entities. The Doc object returned by spacy contains a Token object for each word, which has various attributes such as idx to get the starting position of the word in the original text.

   Here's an example:

   pythonCopy code
   import spacy
   
   nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
   text = "This is a sample text to demonstrate how to find the position of a word."
   word = "demonstrate"
   
   doc = nlp(text)
   for token in doc:
       if token.text == word:
           position = token.idx
           break
   
   print(f"The word '{word}' starts at position {position} in the text.")
   

   In this example, the load() method is used to load a pre-trained English language model in spacy, and the nlp() method is used to process the text variable. The Token object for each word is accessed using a for loop, and the idx attribute is used to get the starting position of the word "demonstrate" in the original text.

3. Regex: Regular expressions can also be used to extract the position of a word or phrase within a text. The re module in Python provides various functions for working with regular expressions, including the search() function which can be used to search for a pattern within a text and return the starting position of the match.

   Here's an example:

   pythonCopy code
   import re
   
   text = "This is a sample text to demonstrate how to find the position of a word."
   word = "demonstrate"
   
   match = re.search(word, text)
   if match:
       position = match.start()
       print(f"The word '{word}' starts at position {position} in the text.")
   else:
       print(f"The word '{word}' was not found in the text.")
   

   In this example, the search() function is used to search for the word "demonstrate" within the text variable using a regular expression pattern. If a match is found, the start() method is
