Shakir,
I have thousands of records in MS Access database table, which records I
am fetching using python script. [A] columns has strings like '8 58-2155-58'
Desired output: '858215558'
input = '8 58-2155-58'
output = ''.join( [ c for c in input if c not in ' -' ] )
output
'858215558'
If you are planning to do a lot of strings:
identity_trans = ''.join(chr(x) for x in range(256))
Then you can do simply:
input = '8 58-2155-58'
output = input.translate(identity_trans, ' -')
