How to Remove All The Special Character in Python

In this tutorial, we will program 'How to Remove All Special Characters in Python.' We will learn how to remove all possible special characters from a string. The objective is to safely remove only the special characters that are present in the string. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding process in this tutorial.

This topic is very easy to understand. Just follow the instructions I provide, and you can do it yourself with ease. The program I will show you covers the basics of programming to remove possible special characters from a string. I will do my best to provide you with a simple method for identifying and removing special characters. So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

import re
 
 
orig_string = "1234Hello*$&(@)!"
ret = False
 
while True:
    print("\n================== Remove All The Special Character ==================\n\n")
 
 
 
    print ("Original String: ", orig_string)
 
    getVals = list([val for val in orig_string
			if val.isalpha() or val.isnumeric()])
 
    result = "".join(getVals)
 
 
    print ("New String: ", result)
 
    opt = input("\nDo you want to try again?(yes/no): ")
 
    if opt.lower() == 'yes':
            ret=False
    elif opt.lower() == 'no':
            ret=True
            print("Exiting program....")
 
    else:
            print("Please enter yes/no:")
            break
 
    if ret == False:
            continue

This script removes all special characters from the string orig_string by keeping only alphanumeric characters. It displays the original string and the new string without special characters. The user is prompted to decide if they want to run the process again. If the user chooses to continue, the string is processed again; otherwise, the program exits.

Output:

There you have it we successfully created How to Remove All The Special Character in Python. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
