Is there a pythonic way to do what the str.strip()
method does, except for all occurrences, not just those at the beginning and end of a string?
Example:
>> '::2012-05-14 18:10:20.856000::'.strip(' -.:')
>> '2012-05-14 18:10:20.856000'
I want
>> '::2012-05-14 18:10:20.856000::'.crazy_function(' -.:')
>> '20120514181020856000'
Does Python provides me a built-in crazy_function
???
I could easily do it programatically, but I want to know if there is a built-in for that. Couldn't find one. Thank you for your help.
