Question

I am trying to print a result for example:

for record in result:
    print varone,vartwo,varthree

I am trying to concatenate the variables which are from an SQL query, but I am getting whitespace. How can I strip whitespace from a ‘print’? Should I feed the result into a variable then do a ‘strip(newvar)’ then print the ‘newvar’?

Answer 1

This:

print "%s%s%s" % (varone,vartwo,varthree)

will replace the first %s in the quotes with the value in varone, the second %s with the contents of vartwo, etc.

EDIT:
As of Python 2.6 you should prefer this method:

print "{0}{1}{2}".format(varone,vartwo,varthree)
