Dear Steven, Thank you for your kind suggestion. I will keep it in mind. I am trying to send you a revised example. list1=[u"('koteeswaram/BHPERSN engaged/NA ','class1')", u"('koteeswaram/BHPERSN is/NA ','class1')"] [('koteeswaram/BHPERSN engaged/NA ','class1'), ('koteeswaram/BHPERSN is/NA ','class1')] I tried to make it as follows, list2=[] for i in list1: a1=unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', i).encode('ascii','ignore') a2=a1.replace('"',"") list2.append(a2) and, for i in list1: a3=i[1:-1] list2.append(a3) but I am not getting desired output. If any one may kindly suggest how may I approach it? Regards, Subhabrata -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
