Use the strip()
method to remove spaces from the beginning and the end of a string.
regular_text = " This is a regular text. "
no_space_text = regular_text.strip()
print(regular_text)
#' This is a regular text. '
print(no_space_text)
#'This is a regular text.'
Notice that the original regular_text
variable remains unchanged, thus you need to assign the return of the method to a new variable, no_space_text
in this case.
The strip()
method also accepts specific chars for removal as parameters.
regular_text = "AbC#This is a regular text.$@G#"
clean_text = regular_text.strip("AbC#$@G")
print(regular_text)
#AbC#This is a regular text.$@G#
print(clean_text)
#This is a regular text.
