Save result of easyocr in veriable and print it with all data at same line

Question

I am using easyocr to detect mrz of passport:

.py code:

import easyocr
import cv2
reader = easyocr.Reader(['en'], gpu=False)
result = reader.readtext(gray)
for detection in result:
    text = detection[1]

    print(text.upper(), end="")
    # PCSDNKHADIGA<ABAKAR<BABIKER<MUS****<<<<<<<<<***************************<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<*

I want to save result in variable, problem is when i use 's = (text.replace('\n', ''))' and print 's' the result not all is the same line Like:

PCSDNKHADIGA<ABAKAR<BABIKER
<MUS***<<<<<<<<<
*****************<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<*

How to save all result to variable and then print it at same line?

Any kind of help please?

Answer 1

Use this code to achive the result in single line

temp = ''
for detection in result:
    text = detection[1]
    temp = temp + text.strip()  # this will strip spaces at the end .. use it for  
    # other special characters according to your text.

print(temp.upper(), end="")
