Removing new line '\n' from the output of python BeautifulSoup

Question

I am using python Beautiful soup to get the contents of:

     abc
     def         


        
      

Answer 1

If you just strip items in breadcrum you would end up with empty item in your list. You can either do as shaktimaan suggested and then use

breadcrum = filter(None, breadcrum)

Or you can strip them all before hand (in html_doc):

mystring = mystring.replace('\n', ' ').replace('\r', '')

Either way to get your string output, do something like this:

','.join(breadcrum)
