Remove leading and trailing spaces?

Question

I\'m having a hard time trying to use .strip with the following line of code.

Thanks for the help.

f.write(re.split(\"Tech ID:|Name:|Account #:\",li         


        

Answer 1

Expand your one liner into multiple lines. Then it becomes easy:

f.write(re.split("Tech ID:|Name:|Account #:",line)[-1])

parts = re.split("Tech ID:|Name:|Account #:",line)
wanted_part = parts[-1]
wanted_part_stripped = wanted_part.strip()
f.write(wanted_part_stripped)
