How to replace single quotes from a list in python

Question

I have a list:

my_list = [\'\"3\"\', \'\"45\"\',\'\"12\"\',\'\"6\"\']

This list has single and double quotes and the item value. How can I repl

Answer 1

As suggested by @MartijnPieters in comments, you can use replace on the strings to get the desired output.

The change I like to suggest is that using .replace('"', '') instead of .replace('"', ' '). Otherwise the resultant strings will have a leading and trailing white space

You can use list comprehension to deal with the list you have like this

my_list = ['"3"', '"45"','"12"','"6"']

new_list = [x.replace('"', '') for x in my_list]

print(new_list) # ['3', '45', '12', '6']
