How do I remove whitespace from the end of a string in Python?
You can use strip() or split() to control the spaces values as the following, and here is some test functions:
words = " test words "
# Remove end spaces
def remove_end_spaces(string):
return "".join(string.rstrip())
# Remove first and end spaces
def remove_first_end_spaces(string):
return "".join(string.rstrip().lstrip())
# Remove all spaces
def remove_all_spaces(string):
return "".join(string.split())
# Remove all extra spaces
def remove_all_extra_spaces(string):
return " ".join(string.split())
# Show results
print(f'"{words}"')
print(f'"{remove_end_spaces(words)}"')
print(f'"{remove_first_end_spaces(words)}"')
print(f'"{remove_all_spaces(words)}"')
print(f'"{remove_all_extra_spaces(words)}"')
output:
" test words "
" test words"
"test words"
"testwords"
"test words"
i hope this helpful .
>>> " xyz ".rstrip()
' xyz'
There is more about rstrip
in the documentation.
