    help with list element parsing

    I have an element in a list which equals='42 61 73 73 20 43 6f 6d 70 65 6e 73 61 74 69 6f \n\r6e '

    Sometimes this element has \n\r in it and sometime it doesn't. how do i make it get rid of it when it is there so it would look like this:

    '42 61 73 73 20 43 6f 6d 70 65 6e 73 61 74 69 6f r6e '

    thanks for the help

      Use the string function strip(chars) to remove the characters you don't want, eg [CODE=python]elem.strip('\r\ n')[/code]

          Laharl would be correct if the unwanted characters were leading or trailing. In your case, you can use string method replace(). [code=Python]>>> elem = '42 61 73 73 20 43 6f 6d 70 65 6e 73 61 74 69 6f \n\r6e '
          >>> elem.replace('\ n\r', '')
          '42 61 73 73 20 43 6f 6d 70 65 6e 73 61 74 69 6f 6e '
          >>> [/code]
