for that particular string

>>> "+abc_cde.fgh_jkl\n"[1:-1]
'abc_cde.fgh_jkl'
>>> "+abc_cde.fgh_jkl\n".strip()[1:]
'abc_cde.fgh_jkl'
>>> "+abc_cde.fgh_jkl\n"[1:].strip()
'abc_cde.fgh_jkl'
>>> "+abc_cde.fgh_jkl\n"[1:].strip().replace('+','')
'abc_cde.fgh_jkl'
>>> "+abc_cde.fgh_jkl\n"[1:].replace('\n','').replace('+','')
'abc_cde.fgh_jkl'

I'm sure there are other ways too !!

HTH :)
