How to remove empty string in a list?

Question

For example I have a sentence

\"He is so .... cool!\"

Then I remove all the punctuation and make it in a list.

[\"He\", \"         


        

Answer 1

You can filter it like this

orig = ["He", "is", "so", "", "cool"]
result = [x for x in orig if x]

Or you can use filter. In python 3 filter returns a generator, thus list() turns it into a list. This works also in python 2.7

result = list(filter(None, orig))
