NumPy: strip() function
numpy.core.defchararray.strip() function
For each element in a given array the numpy.core.defchararray.strip() function returns a copy with the leading and trailing characters removed.
Calls str.strip element-wise.
Version: 1.15.0
Syntax:
numpy.core.defchararray.strip(a, chars=None)
Parameter:
Name | Description | Required / Optional |
---|---|---|
a: array-like of str or unicode | Input an array_like of string or unicode. | Required |
chars: str or unicode | The chars argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be removed. If omitted or None, the chars argument defaults to removing whitespace. The chars argument is not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are stripped. | Optional |
Return value:
out [ndarray] Output array of str or unicode, depending on input type.
Note:
The 'chararray' class exists for backwards compatibility with Numarray, it is not recommended for new development. Starting from numpy 1.4, if one needs arrays of strings, it is recommended to use arrays of 'dtype' 'object_', 'string_' or 'unicode_', and use the free functions in the 'numpy.char' module for fast vectorized string operations.
Some methods will only be available if the corresponding string method is available in your version of Python.
The preferred alias for 'defchararray' is 'numpy.char'.
Example-1: numpy.strip() function
>>> import numpy as np
>>> x = np.array(['aAaAaA', ' aA ', 'abBABba'])
>>> x
array(['aAaAaA', ' aA ', 'abBABba'], dtype='<U7')
>>> np.char.strip(x)
array(['aAaAaA', 'aA', 'abBABba'], dtype='<U7')
>>> np.char.strip(x, 'a')
array(['AaAaA', ' aA ', 'bBABb'], dtype='<U7')
>>> np.char.strip(x, 'A')
array(['aAaAa', ' aA ', 'abBABba'], dtype='<U7')
Example-2: numpy.strip() function
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.char.strip('apple basket', 'a')
>>> a
array('pple basket', dtype='<U12')
