Remove all newlines from inside a string

strip only removes characters from the beginning and end of a string. You want to use replace:

str2 = str.replace("\n", "")re.sub('\s{2,}', ' ', str) # To remove more than one space

python string newline substitution

As mentioned by @john, the most robust answer is:

string = "a\nb\rv"new_string = " ".join(string.splitlines())

python string newline substitution

Answering late since I recently had the same question when reading text from file; tried several options such as:

with open('verdict.txt') as f:

First option below produces a list called alist, with '\n' stripped, then joins back into full text (optional if you wish to have only one text):

alist = f.read().splitlines()jalist = " ".join(alist)

Second option below is much easier and simple produces string of text called atext replacing '\n' with space;

atext = f.read().replace('\n',' ')

It works; I have done it. This is clean, easier, and efficient.
