Assuming that you don't know beforehand all possible special character
strings, how do you find all such character strings in the text document?
I'd read through it, looking for periods.
If it were "cat.dog.rat.bat", I'd note that .dog. and .rat. meet the
criteria and list them.
How would you do it?
And how does this question relate to Python?
