13 - Python - Modify Strings

Python has several built-in string methods for modifying strings including upper() to convert to uppercase, lower() to lowercase, strip() to remove whitespace, replace() to substitute strings, split() to separate by a delimiter into a list, concatenation using +, and format() to insert values into placeholders. Escape characters like \" can be used to include special characters in a string.

Python - Modify Strings

Upper Case
• Python has a set of built-in methods that you can use on strings.
• The upper() method returns the string in upper case:
Lower Case
• The lower() method returns the string in lower case:
Remove Whitespace
• Whitespace is the space before and/or after the actual text, and very
often you want to remove this space.
• The strip() method removes any whitespace from the beginning or
the end:
Replace String
• The replace() method replaces a string with another string:
Split String
• The split() method returns a list where the text between the specified
separator becomes the list items.
• The split() method splits the string into substrings if it finds instances
of the separator:
String Concatenation
• To concatenate, or combine, two strings you can use the + operator.
• Merge variable a with variable b into variable c:
String Concatenation
• To add a space between them, add a " ":
String Format
• As we learned in the Python Variables chapter, we cannot combine
strings and numbers like this:
String Format
• But we can combine strings and numbers by using the format()
method!
• The format() method takes the passed arguments, formats them, and
places them in the string where the placeholders {} are:
• Use the format() method to insert numbers into strings:
String Format
• The format() method takes unlimited number of arguments, and are
placed into the respective placeholders:
String Format
• You can use index numbers {0} to be sure the arguments are placed in
the correct placeholders:
Escape Characters
• To insert characters that are illegal in a string, use an escape
character.
• An escape character is a backslash \ followed by the character you
want to insert.
• An example of an illegal character is a double quote inside a string
that is surrounded by double quotes:
Escape Characters
• To fix this problem, use the escape character \":
• The escape character allows you to use double quotes when you
normally would not be allowed:
