python – Remove all line breaks from a long string of text
How do you enter line breaks with raw_input? But, once you have a string with some characters in it you want to get rid of, just replace them.
>>> mystr = raw_input(please enter string: )
please enter string: hello world, how do i enter line breaks?
>>> # pressing enter didnt work...
...
>>> mystr
hello world, how do i enter line breaks?
>>> mystr.replace( , )
helloworld,howdoienterlinebreaks?
>>>
In the example above, I replaced all spaces. The string n represents newlines. And r represents carriage returns (if youre on windows, you might be getting these and a second replace will handle them for you!).
basically:
# you probably want to use a space to replace `n`
mystring = mystring.replace(n, ).replace(r, )
Note also, that it is a bad idea to call your variable string, as this shadows the module string. Another name Id avoid but would love to use sometimes: file. For the same reason.
You can try using string replace:
string = string.replace(r, ).replace(n, )

You can split the string with no separator arg, which will treat consecutive whitespace as a single separator (including newlines and tabs). Then join using a space:
In : .join(nnsome text rn with multiple whitespace.split())
Out: some text with multiple whitespace
