• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

hey im tryina clean this text with the .replace() method but if i do it twice it overwrites and if i try putting it in the same brackets its too many arguments

Your second .replace is also working on gibberish (the original text). You want it to work on text, which has the first replacement applied.

You can chain these:

text = gibberish.replace("&","E").replace("*","S")
