strip only removes characters from the beginning and end of a string  You want to use replace  str2   str replace  quot  n quot    quot  quot   re sub   s 2          str    To remove more than one space

Answering late since I recently had the same question when reading text from file  tried several options such as   with open  verdict txt   as f     First option below produces a list called alist  with   n  stripped  then joins back into full text  optional if you wish to have only one text    alist   f read   splitlines   jalist       join alist    Second option below is much easier and simple produces string of text called atext replacing   n  with space   atext   f read   replace   n         It works  I have done it   This is clean  easier  and efficient

If the file includes a line break in the middle of the text neither strip   nor rstrip   will not solve the problem       strip family are used to trim from the began and the end of the string   replace   is the way to solve your problem    gt  gt  gt  my name    Landon nWO   gt  gt  gt  print my name    Landon    WO   gt  gt  gt  my name   my name replace   n       gt  gt  gt  print my name LandonWO

strip   returns the string with leading and trailing whitespaces by default  removed   So it would turn    Hello World     to  Hello World   but it won t remove the  n character as it is present in between the string    Try replace     str    Hello  n World  str2   str replace   n       print str2
