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 use a list comprehension:

cleaned = [x for x in your_list if x]

Although I would use regex to extract the words:

>>> import re
>>> sentence = 'This is some cool sentence with,    spaces'
>>> re.findall(r'(\w+)', sentence)
['This', 'is', 'some', 'cool', 'sentence', 'with', 'spaces']
