I've got the following code:
from itemspecs import itemspecs
x = itemspecs.split('#@#')
res = []
for item in x:
res.append(item.split('##'))
print(res)
This imports a string from another document. And gives me the following:
[['\n1\nWie was de Nederlandse scheepvaarder die de Spaanse zilvervloot veroverde?\n',
'\nA. Michiel de Ruyter\nB. Piet Heijn\nC. De zilvervloot is nooit door de Nederlanders
onderschept\n', '\nB\n', '\nAntwoord B De Nederlandse vlootvoogd werd hierdoor bekend.\n'],
['\n2\nIn welk land ligt Upernavik?\n', '\nA. Antartica\nB. Canada\nC. Rusland\nD.
Groenland\nE. Amerika\n', '\nD\n', '\nAntwoord D Het is een dorp in Groenland met 1224
inwoners.\n']]
But now I want to remove all the \n
from every end and beginning of every element in this list. How can I do this?
You can do that by stripping "\n" as follow
a = "\nhello\n"
stripped_a = a.strip("\n")
so, what you need to do is iterate through the list and then apply the strip on the string as shown below
res_1=[]
for i in res:
tmp=[]
for j in i:
tmp.append(j.strip("\n"))
res_1.append(tmp)
The above answer just removes \n from start and end. if you want to remove all the new lines in a string, just use .replace('\n"," ")
as shown below
res_1=[]
for i in res:
tmp=[]
for j in i:
tmp.append(j.replace("\n"))
res_1.append(tmp)
