How to remove special characters from a string in Python

how to remove special characters from a string in python

Special characters are non-alphabetic or non-numeric characters. They are often part of string. To remove special characters from string, we can use str.isalnum().

Using a loop, iterate through each character in a string. In a conditional statement, using str.isalnum(), check whether character is alphanumeric or not. Add each alphanumeric character to a new string. Then the new string will be free of special characters.

a = "Python @ point! #*"
new = ""
print(a)

for character in a:
	if character.isalnum():
		new += character

print(new)

Output:

Python @ point! #*
