Python String rstrip() method returns a copy of the string with trailing characters removed (based on the string argument passed). If no argument is passed, it removes trailing spaces.
Python String rstrip() Method Syntax
Syntax: string.rstrip([chars])
Parameters: chars (optional) – a string specifying the set of characters to be removed.
Return: Returns a copy of the string with trailing characters stripped
Python String rstrip() Method Example
Python3
# string which is to be strippedstring = "Lazyroarsss"print(string.rstrip('s')) |
Output:
geek
Example 1: Removing any of matching characters from right of String
Here, in the argument of the Python String rstrip() function, we have passed a String having more than one character. In this case, rstrip() will try to strip the original string of the provided characters from the right side as long as the characters match with any of the characters in the given argument.
Python3
# string which is to be strippedstring = "Lazyroar for Lazyroar"# Removes given set of characters from# right.print(string.rstrip('ske')) |
Output:
Lazyroar for g
Example 2: Removing trailing white spaces from string using rstrip() Method
Python3
string = "GeeksForGeeks "print(string.rstrip()) |
Output:
GeeksForGeeks
Example 3: Python String rstrip() returns the original String if the string cannot be stripped of provided characters
Python3
# string which is to be strippedstring = "Lazyroar for Lazyroar"# string doesn't have trailing 'e' or 'k'# thus the rstrip() method didn't update the stringprint(string.rstrip('ek')) |
Output:
Lazyroar for Lazyroar
