I am trying to extract only the string without whitespace of an element in a dictionary. This is how my element looks currently:
u'GYM-7874 '
I only want to extract the value without the whitespace so "GYM-7874" only so that I can compare it with another list of strings. I tried using the .strip() method to get rid of whitespaces but unfortunately that only works with string. How do I get rid of the white space and only extract the characters?
# json_ob is the string array of dictionary title = json_ob[index]["title"] title.strip()
strip() doesn't modify the string in place (strings are immutable in Python). You need to assign the result back to the variable.
strip()
title = title.strip()
