Delect white space of list in python-CodePudding

How can I delect the white space in a list?

I have:

text = ["      Hello", "     how are      ","you   "]

I want:

text = ["Hello","how are","you"]

CodePudding user response：

That's not the question you want to ask. You want to ask "how can I delete leading and trailing spaces?" You use .strip for that.

text = [s.strip() for s in text]

CodePudding user response：

List = ["      Hello", "     how are      ","you   "]
List = [value.strip() for value in List]
print(List)

CodePudding user response：

You can use strip method on str and list comprehension, e.g.

text = ["      Hello", "     how are      ","you   "]
withoutWhiteSpace = [t.strip(' ') for t in text]

print(withoutWhiteSpace)
['Hello', 'how are', 'you']

CodePudding user response：

You can remove the white spaces at the beginning & at the end of each item in list by using below List comprehension procedure.

We are looping through each item in the list "text" & then using python string.strip() functionality to remove the whitespace.

text = [item.strip() for item in text]
