strip(a, chars=None)

Calls :None:None:`str.strip` element-wise.

Parameters

a : array-like of str or unicode

chars : str or unicode, optional

The chars argument is a string specifying the set of characters to be removed. If omitted or None, the chars argument defaults to removing whitespace. The chars argument is not a prefix or suffix; rather, all combinations of its values are stripped.

Returns

out : ndarray

Output array of str or unicode, depending on input type

For each element in a, return a copy with the leading and trailing characters removed.

Examples

>>> c = np.array(['aAaAaA', '  aA  ', 'abBABba'])
... c
array(['aAaAaA', '  aA  ', 'abBABba'], dtype='<U7')

>>> np.char.strip(c)
array(['aAaAaA', 'aA', 'abBABba'], dtype='<U7')

>>> np.char.strip(c, 'a') # 'a' unstripped from c[1] because whitespace leads
array(['AaAaA', '  aA  ', 'bBABb'], dtype='<U7')

>>> np.char.strip(c, 'A') # 'A' unstripped from c[1] because (unprinted) ws trails
array(['aAaAa', '  aA  ', 'abBABba'], dtype='<U7')

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
