How do you replace all the occurrences of a certain character in a string?

Question

I am reading a csv into a:

import csv
import collections
import pdb
import math
import urllib

def do_work():
  a=get_file(\'c:/pythonwork/cds/c         


        

Answer 1

The problem is you're not doing anything with the result of replace. In Python strings are immutable so anything that manipulates a string returns a new string instead of modifying the original string.

line[8] = line[8].replace(letter, "")
