How to remove all spaces in the strings in list

Question

My list is like this,

mylist=[ " ","abc","bgt","llko","    ","hhyt","  ","      ","iuyt"]

How to remove all spaces containing strings inside this list?

Answer 1

You could use a list comprehension:

 new_list = [elem for elem in mylist if elem.strip()]

Using strip() guarantees that even strings containing only multiple spaces will be removed.
