How to strip all whitespace from string

Answer 1

As mentioned by Roger Pate following code worked for me:

s = " \t foo \n bar "
"".join(s.split())
'foobar'

I am using Jupyter Notebook to run following code:

i=0
ProductList=[]
while i < len(new_list): 
   temp=''                            # new_list[i]=temp=' Plain   Utthapam  '
   #temp=new_list[i].strip()          #if we want o/p as: 'Plain Utthapam'
   temp="".join(new_list[i].split())  #o/p: 'PlainUtthapam' 
   temp=temp.upper()                  #o/p:'PLAINUTTHAPAM' 
   ProductList.append(temp)
   i=i+2
