Question

I have a list find_words which is

[u'Duration$', u'Noun$', u'Adjective$']

I would like to remove all the ‘$’ so it looks like

[u'Duration', u'Noun', u'Adjective']

How do I go about this? Also, how do I re-add the ‘$’ as well.

Answer 1

You can do this simply with a list comprehension and str.rstrip():

[word.rstrip("$") for word in words]

Or to add them:

[word+"$" for word in words]

E.g:

>>> words = ['Duration$', 'Noun$', 'Adjective$']
>>> words = [word.rstrip("$") for word in words]
>>> words
['Duration', 'Noun', 'Adjective']
>>> [word+"$" for word in words]
['Duration$', 'Noun$', 'Adjective$']
