python - Removing character in list of strings

Question

If I have a list of strings such as:

[("aaaa8"),("bb8"),("ccc8"),("dddddd8")...]

What should I do in order to get rid of all the 8s in each string? I tried using strip or replace in a for loop but it doesn't work like it would in a normal string (that not in a list). Does anyone have a suggestion?

Answer 1

Try this:

lst = [("aaaa8"),("bb8"),("ccc8"),("dddddd8")]
print([s.strip('8') for s in lst]) # remove the 8 from the string borders
print([s.replace('8', '') for s in lst]) # remove all the 8s
