Inverted Commas in Strings
-
I have a data file that I sent to UTF8 which puts the inverted comma character in its output.
How do I detect and remove the “ character from a string? Trying to define is as “”” i.e. 3 “ in a row, is overidden by the editor to become 4 “ in a row. It will not treat the “ character as a character. -
@TomD Try (or I didn't understand)
a = 'hello “friend“' print(a) print(a.replace('“','')) -
@CVP, you do seem to understand but it doesn’t change the output. Syntax is good but the printed line is still:
Hello “Friend”
-
@TomD my print output:
hello “friend“ hello friend -
Works now. I must have had a transcription error. Thankyou
