Removing non-breaking spaces from strings using Python
- by dontsaythekidsname
Hello:
I am having some trouble with a very basic string issue in Python (that I can't figure out). Basically, I am trying to do the following:
'# read file into a string
myString = file.read()
'# Attempt to remove non breaking spaces
myString = myString.replace("\u00A0"," ")
'# however, when I print my string to output to console, I get:
Foo **<C2><A0>** Bar
I thought that the "\u00A0" was the escape code for unicode non breaking spaces, but apparently I am not doing this properly. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
