Is there a way to pass in a list instead of a char to str.strip()
in python? I have been doing it this way:
unwanted = [c for c in '!@#$%^&*(FGHJKmn']
s = 'FFFFoFob*&%ar**^'
for u in unwanted:
s = s.strip(u)
print s
Desired output, this output is correct but there should be some sort of a more elegant way than how i'm coding it above:
oFob*&%ar
Strip and friends take a string representing a set of characters, so you can skip the loop:
>>> s = 'FFFFoFob*&%ar**^'
>>> s.strip('!@#$%^&*(FGHJKmn')
'oFob*&%ar'
(the downside of this is that things like fn.rstrip(".png")
seems to work for many filenames, but doesn't really work)
