I'm trying to append a string in python and the following code produces
buildVersion =request.values.get("buildVersion", None)
pathToSave = 'processedImages/%s/'%buildVersion
print pathToSave
prints out
processedImages/V41
/
I'm expecting the string to be of format: processedImages/V41/
It doesn't seem to be a new line character.
pathToSave = pathToSave.replace("\n", "")
This dint really help
It might not be relevant to actual question but, in addition to Alex Martelli's answer, I would also check if buildVersion ever exists in the first place, because otherwise all solutions posted here will give you another errors:
import re
buildVersion = request.values.get('buildVersion')
if buildVersion is not None:
return 'processedImages/{}/'.format(re.sub('\W+', '', buildVersion))
else:
return None
It might be a \r or other special whitespace character. Just clean up buildVersion of all such whitespace before executing
pathToSave = 'processedImages/%s/' % buildVersion
You can approach the clean-up task in several ways -- for example, if valid characters in buildVersion are only "word characters" (letters, digits, underscore), something like
import re
buildVersion = re.sub('\W+', '', buildVersion)
would usefully clean up even whitespace inside the string. It's hard to be more specific without knowing exactly what characters you need to accept in buildVersion, of course.
buildVersion.rstrip()
