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 = "geeks for geeks"# Removes given set of characters from# right.print(string.rstrip('ske')) |
Output:
geeks 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 = "geeks for geeks"# string doesn't have trailing 'e' or 'k'# thus the rstrip() method didn't update the stringprint(string.rstrip('ek')) |
Output:
geeks for geeks
