I wish to replace several characters in my string to only one.
Example, "-", "." and "/" to nothing ""
I did like that:
my_string = my_string.replace("-", "").replace(".", "").replace("/",
"").replace(")", "").replace("(", "")
But I think it's a ugly way.
What's the better way to do it?
The regular expression is probably the best way to do it,
but if you really want to use replace, you can also use
the replace method in loop:
suggested exercise: benchmark re.sub with literal replacement, re.sub
with callback (lambda m: ""), repeated replace, and repeated use of the form
if ch in my_string:
my_string = my_string.replace(ch, "")
on representative data.
