How to remove digits from end of a string in Python

Hello programmers, in this tutorial, we will learn how to remove digits from the end of a string in Python.

We can do this using the rstrip([chars]) method.

rstrip([char])

• rstrip reads our string and removes only those character types which we pass a parameter into our method.
• Here [char] is a parameter that specifies which set of characters to be removed.

coding

• For using this rstrip() method, we have to 1st import the string library, an inbuilt package in Python.
• Here [char] parameter is the digit that we get from string.digits which returns digits from zero to nine.
• In our string ‘codespeedy123’ there are digits at the end, and we want to remove these three digits so this can be done using the rstrip(string.digits) method.
• At last, we print our string, and we see there is no digit at the end.

#Importing string library
import string
#string
s='codespeedy123'
print("string.digits returns digits 0 to 9: ",string.digits)
#removing digits from the end of string using rstrip(string.digits) method
s=s.rstrip(string.digits)
print("string after removing digits from end: ",s)

output:

string.digits returns digits 0 to 9:  0123456789
string after removing digits from end:  codespeedy

Hopefully, you have learned how to remove digits from the end of a string in Python.
