raw_table = ('''
a: Ask y: Dividend Yield
b: Bid d: Dividend per Share
b2: Ask (Realtime) r1: Dividend Pay Date
b3: Bid (Realtime) q: Ex-Dividend Date
p: Previous Close
o: Open''')
key_name = raw_table.rstrip('\t')
print(key_name)
a: Ask y: Dividend Yield
b: Bid d: Dividend per Share
b2: Ask (Realtime) r1: Dividend Pay Date
b3: Bid (Realtime) q: Ex-Dividend Date
p: Previous Close
o: Open #why is the tab not
being removed?
key_name = raw_table.rstrip('\n')
print(key_name)
a: Ask y: Dividend Yield
b: Bid d: Dividend per Share
b2: Ask (Realtime) r1: Dividend Pay Date
b3: Bid (Realtime) q: Ex-Dividend Date

being removed?

['\na: Ask', 'y: Dividend Yield\nb: Bid', 'd: Dividend per Share\nb2: Ask
(Realtime)', 'r1: Dividend Pay Date\nb3: Bid (Realtime)'.
#great the tab is being removed but now I
have to remove the \n but it is no longer a string

(Realtime)\tr1: Dividend Pay Date', 'b3: Bid (Realtime)\tq: Ex-Dividend
Date'.
#great, the \n is being "removed" but now I
have to remove the \t, but it is no longer a string
key_name = raw_table.split('\t\n')
print(key_name)
['\na: Ask\ty: Dividend Yield\nb: Bid\td: Dividend per Share\nb2: Ask
(Realtime)\tr1: Dividend Pay Date\nb3: Bid (Realtime)\tq: Ex-Dividend
Date\n.
#why isn't the \t and \n not both "removed"
key_name = raw_table.rstrip('[\t\n]')
a: Ask y: Dividend Yield
b: Bid d: Dividend per Share
b2: Ask (Realtime) r1: Dividend Pay Date
b3: Bid (Realtime) q: Ex-Dividend Date
p: Previous Close
o: Open #why aren't both the \t and \n being
removed? (tried with and without the square brackets)
I am trying to get to where I can create a dict using the ':' separator
Thanks
Clayton
