Removing unwanted characters from a string in Python

Question

I have some strings that I want to delete some unwanted characters from them. For example: Adam\'sApple ----> AdamsApple.(case insensitive) Can someone help

Answer 1

I am probably late for the answer but i think below code would also do ( to an extreme end) it will remove all the unncesary chars:

a = '; niraj kale 984wywn on 2/2/2017'
a= re.sub('[^a-zA-Z0-9.?]',' ',a)
a = a.replace('  ',' ').lstrip().rstrip()

which will give

'niraj kale 984wywn on 2 2 2017'
