Remove all whitespace in a string in Python

592 Asked by bhagwatidubey in Python , Asked on Jul 8, 2021

I want to eliminate all the whitespace from a string, on both ends, and in between words.

I have this Python code:

def my_handle(self): sentence = ' hello apple ' sentence.strip()

But that only eliminates the whitespace on both sides of the string. How python remove all spaces from string?

If you want to remove leading and ending spaces, use str.strip():

sentence = ' hello apple'

sentence.strip()

>>> 'hello apple'

If you want to remove all spaces from string, use str.replace():

sentence = ' hello apple'

sentence.replace(" ", "")

>>> 'helloapple'

If you want to remove duplicated spaces, use str.split():

sentence = ' hello apple'

" ".join(sentence.split())

>>> 'hello apple'
