How to remove a group of characters from a string in python including shifting-CodePudding

For instance I have a string that needs a certain keyword removed from a string so lets say may key word iswhatthemomooofun and I want to delete the word moo from it, I have tried using the remove function but it only removes "moo" one time, but now my string is whatthemoofun and I can seem to remove it is there anyway I can do that?

CodePudding user response：

You can use the replace in built function

def str_manipulate(word, key):
    while key in word:
       word = word.replace(key, '')
    return word

CodePudding user response：

Have you tried using a while loop? You could loop through it until it doesn't find your keyword anymore then break out.

Edit

Cause answer could be improved by an example, take a look at the general approach it deals with:

Example

s = 'whatthemomooofun'

while 'moo' in s:
    s= s.replace('moo','')

print(s)

Output

whatthefun

CodePudding user response：

original_string = "!(Hell@o)"
characters_to_remove = "!()@"

new_string = original_string
for character in characters_to_remove:
  new_string = new_string.replace(character, "")

print(new_string)

OUTPUT
