Replace In Strings Of List

I can use re.sub easily in single string like this: >>> a = 'ajhga':&+?%' >>> a = re.sub('[.!,;+?&:%]', '', a) >>> a 'ajhga'' If I u

Solution 1:

>>> a = ["abcd:+;", "(l&'kka)"]
>>> a = [re.sub('[\(\)&\':+]', '', x) for x in a]
>>> a
['abcd;', 'lkka']
>>> 

Solution 2:

for index,x in enumerate(a):
    a[index] = re.sub('[\(\)&\':+]', '', x)

Your changing the value but not updating your list. enumerate is function that return tuple (index,value) for each item of list
