使用Python选择符合特定模式的字符串，通过删除一个元素对其进行修改，然后替换修改后的字符串

import re

def modify_string(pattern, string, element):
    # 选择符合特定模式的字符串
    matches = re.findall(pattern, string)
    
    # 对每个匹配到的字符串进行修改
    modified_strings = []
    for match in matches:
        # 删除一个元素
        modified_string = match.replace(element, '')
        modified_strings.append(modified_string)
    
    # 替换修改后的字符串
    for modified_string in modified_strings:
        string = string.replace(modified_string, modified_string)
    
    return string

# 示例调用
pattern = r'\b\w*at\w*\b'  # 匹配包含"at"的单词
string = "The cat sat on the mat."
element = "a"  # 要删除的元素
modified_string = modify_string(pattern, string, element)
print(modified_string)
