Re: Removing the continous newline characters from the pythong string

What was I thinking? split() will only work if you have no other whitespace characters in the string. A regex like "[\n\r]+" is indeed much more appropriate and robust. Cheers -Basilisk96 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

why not use split: >>>s = " >>>a\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nsss\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nvsa\n\n\n\nasf... >>>\n\nafs" >>>s.split() ['a', 'sss', '', 'vsa', 'asf...', 'afs'] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
