Unable to remove new line characters from string
Question:
I am trying to parse the links from the strings in Python. I got the following string:
Hair loss can be all-consuming. In todays video, I start by sharing some holistic practices I personally followed to combat hair loss, such as; changing my diet, reducing stress levels and changing hairstyles. I also share my long-term plan for the near future to com hair loss, such as; changing my diet, reducing stress levels and changing hairstyles.

First of all I removed the new line characters from the string using the code
text = " ".join(text.splitlines())
But I checked the results that it is not removing n from the links and I am getting the following text after the above code is executed:
