Python: remove single quotation in a string in a list

Question

I have a list of items, list1, shown below:

["None", "A ','B", "A"]

The second element of list1 is "A ','B".

How can I remove the single quotation mark and get "A, B" instead?

Answer 1

This is a simple string replace.

list1[1] = list1[1].replace("'","")

EDIT: Strings are immutable, so you have to actually do the replace, and reassign. I should add, that by "removing" the single quote, you will not be gaining a space after the comma.

Answer 2

list1 = ["None", "A ','B", "A"]
list1[1] = list1[1].replace("'", "")
print(list1)

Is that what you need?

Answer 3

To remove a single quote from all strings in a list, use a list comprehension like

l = ["None", "A ','B", "A"]
l = [s.replace("'", '') for s in l]

See the Python demo:

l = ["None", "A ','B", "A"]
l = [s.replace("'", '') for s in l]
print(l) # => ['None', 'A ,B', 'A']
