[Tutor] List element with replace

[Alan Gauld]

Notice that mexT[0] is a list. Each element of the list is a string.

> line 5   >>>  mexT[0] = mexT[0].replace("|", "")

You need to iterate over the list and do the replace on each 
element, like so:

mexT[0] = [ s.replace('|','') for s in mexT[0] ]

OR if you prefer map():

mexT[0] = map(lambda s: s.replace('|',''), mexT[0])
