How to strip comma in Python string
Question:
How can I strip the comma from a Python string such as Foo, bar? I tried 'Foo, bar'.strip(','), but it didn’t work.
Answers:
Use replace method of strings not strip:
s = s.replace(',','')
An example:
>>> s = 'Foo, bar'
>>> s.replace(',',' ')
'Foo bar'
>>> s.replace(',','')
'Foo bar'
>>> s.strip(',') # clears the ','s at the start and end of the string which there are none
'Foo, bar'
>>> s.strip(',') == s
True
unicode('foo,bar').translate(dict([[ord(char), u''] for char in u',']))
This will strip all commas from the text and left justify it.
for row in inputfile:
place = row['your_row_number_here'].strip(', ')
