Replacing part of string in python pandas dataframe

Question

I have a similar problem to the one posted here:

Pandas DataFrame: remove unwanted parts from strings in a column

I need to remove newline characters from w

Answer 1

You could use regex parameter of replace method to achieve that:

misc['product_desc'] = misc['product_desc'].replace(to_replace='\n', value='', regex=True)

Answer 2

strip only removes the specified characters at the beginning and end of the string. If you want to remove all \n, you need to use replace.

misc['product_desc'] = misc['product_desc'].str.replace('\n', '')
