Python Rstrip

by

The Python Rstrip method is one of the String Method which is used to remove the specified characters from Right hand side of a string (By default, White spaces) and returns the new string. In this article we will show you, How to write Rstrip in Python Programming with example.

Python Rstrip Syntax

The basic syntax of the RStrip in Python Programming Language is as shown below:

String_Value.RStrip(Chars)
  • String_Value: Please select the valid String literal.
  • Chars: This parameter is optional and if you Omit this, Rstrip() Function will consider the white spaces as default parameter. In order to change the default value, Please specify the Characters you want to strip from the string.

Python Rstrip Example

The following set of examples will help you understand the RStrip Function in Python Programming Language.

PYTHON CODE

# Python RStrip Method Example

Str1 = 'Tutorial Gateway         '

Str2 = Str1.rstrip()
print('Stripping White sapces on Right Side using RStrip() is =', Str2)

# Observe the Original String
print('Converted String is =', Str1.rstrip())
print('Original String is =', Str1)
      
# Performing RStrip() function directly
Str3 = '00000000Tutorial Gateway00000000'.rstrip('0')
print("Stripping 0's on Right Side using RStrip() is =", Str3)

# Stripping Left Side
Str4 = 'Tutorial Gateway+++++*********'.rstrip('+*')
print('Stripping + and * on Right Side using RStrip() is =', Str4)

OUTPUT

ANALYSIS

First we declared the String variable Str1 and assigned corresponding value using following statement

Str1 = 'Tutorial Gateway         ';

Following statement will remove the white spaces from the Right side of String variable Str1 using the RStrip function and prints the output

Str2 = Str1.rstrip()
print('Stripping White spaces on Right Side using RStrip() is =', Str2)

The RStrip function in python will return the output in new string, instead of altering the original string. Following statements will show you the same

print('Converted String is =', Str1.rstrip())
print('Original String is =', Str1)

From the above screenshot you can observe that, the original string Str1 is unchanged. If you want to change the original String then, you can write the following statement

Str1 = Str1.rstrip()

The RStrip in Python Programming will only remove the given characters from Right side of a string and omit Left hand side characters.

Within the following statements we have zeros on both sides but if you notice the above screenshot, the function output is removing zeros from Right hand side only.

Str3 = '00000000Tutorial Gateway00000000'.rstrip('0')
print("Stripping 0's on Right Side using RStrip() is =", Str3)

Here, we used two characters to strip (+ and *) from Right hand side

Str4 = 'Tutorial Gateway+++++*********'.rstrip('+*')
print('Stripping + and * on Right Side using RStrip() is =', Str4)
