['{\n "quantityOfUnits": 1500,\n "ownerOnDespatch": "100038",\n "packSize": 3\n}', '{\n "quantityOfUnits": 2500,\n "ownerOnDespatch": "100038",\n "packSize": 4\n}']

want to convert the list of strings to dictionary and access the values and also want to eleminate the \n.

CodePudding user response：

You can remove the newline characters and apply literal_eval:

from ast import literal_eval

directreceipts = ['{\n "quantityOfUnits": 1500,\n "ownerOnDespatch": "100038",\n "packSize": 3\n}', '{\n "quantityOfUnits": 2500,\n "ownerOnDespatch": "100038",\n "packSize": 4\n}']
directreceipts_list = [literal_eval(i.replace('\n', '').strip()) for i in directreceipts]

Outputs a list of dicts:

[{'quantityOfUnits': 1500, 'ownerOnDespatch': '100038', 'packSize': 3},
 {'quantityOfUnits': 2500, 'ownerOnDespatch': '100038', 'packSize': 4}]

CodePudding user response：

You don't need to try to remove \n here. Just parse the string with json.

import json
directreceipts = [json.loads(d) for d in directreceipts]

Output:

[{'quantityOfUnits': 1500, 'ownerOnDespatch': '100038', 'packSize': 3},
 {'quantityOfUnits': 2500, 'ownerOnDespatch': '100038', 'packSize': 4}]
