🔒 How to remove a text that is present in a string?

[lyric hollow]

text = td.css('div.narrow ::text').getall() #list
is_replying_to = td.css('div.narrow blockquote *::text').getall() if td.css('div.narrow blockquote ::text').getall() else '' #list``` 
I have tried :
```py
text = ' '.join(text)
text = text.replace(' '.join(is_replying_to), ' ')```

but it does not seem to work

[elder maple]

text = td.css('div.narrow ::text').getall() [list]
is_replying_to = td.css('div.narrow blockquote *::text').getall() if td.css('div.narrow blockquote ::text').getall() else '' [list]```
this is not how you write python code

[lyric hollow]

I put list

so you know what the function returns

[empty crown]

can u not do that

[elder maple]

im getting errors when i paste it

[lyric hollow]

ahh

changed it

[elder maple]

oh nvm

i made a mistakr

[empty crown]

fixed?

[elder maple]

the text box was too small so i didnt see the the new line

[lyric hollow]

no

changed the code above

found a solution

text = td.css('div.narrow ::text').getall()
        
        

is_replying_to = td.css('div.narrow blockquote *::text').getall() if td.css('div.narrow blockquote ::text').getall() else ''


filtered_text = [item for item in text if item not in is_replying_to]

[agile sable]

item for item in text if item not in is_replying_to
what does that even mean(sorry to poke in bw)

what does for keyword signify here

i mean i know we can do like
print("hi" if a > 4 else "bye")

i was not aware we could use for too

[willow monolith]

it's a "list comprehension" syntax

[agile sable]

In short , what is that

[willow monolith]

a single line for loop

[lyric hollow]

it's like :

for item in text:
  if item not in is_replying_to:
     filtered_text.append(item)```

to make it shorter, I used a list comprehension

[agile sable]

this is equivalent to filtered_text = [item for item in text if item not in is_replying_to]

??

[lyric hollow]

yes

[agile sable]

feels good to know something new
thank you !!

[lyric hollow]

yw

[willow monolith]

the if is also optional

!e

data = ['apples', 'oranges', 'bananas']
print([i.upper() for i in data])

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

['APPLES', 'ORANGES', 'BANANAS']

[agile sable]

yeah i figured 😤 < 3
