I've got a pretty good working snippit of code, but I was wondering if anyone has any better suggestions on how to do this:
val = ''.join([c for c in val if c in '1234567890.']) What would you do?

Using translate(): translate() is another method that can be used to remove a character from a string in Python. translate() returns a string after removing the values passed in the table. Also, remember that to remove a character from a string using translate() you have to replace it with None and not "" .
In order to remove all non-numeric characters from a string, replace() function is used. replace() Function: This function searches a string for a specific value, or a RegExp, and returns a new string where the replacement is done.
You can use a regular expression (using the re module) to accomplish the same thing. The example below matches runs of [^\d.] (any character that's not a decimal digit or a period) and replaces them with the empty string. Note that if the pattern is compiled with the UNICODE flag the resulting string could still include non-ASCII numbers. Also, the result after removing "non-numeric" characters is not necessarily a valid number.
>>> import re >>> non_decimal = re.compile(r'[^\d.]+') >>> non_decimal.sub('', '12.34fe4e') '12.344' If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
