Is there a way to detect whitespace after a string in Python?

Question

I want a code that will detect if there is whitespace at the end of a string in Python and return a true or false so it can be used in a conditional, is there a way to do this? Thanks! :)

Answer 1

You can try:

your_string.endswith(" ")

But, if you want to match any kind of white space, you can use:

import re

re.match(r".*\s$", your_string)

re.UNICODE flag can be also useful if you work with Python 2:

import re

re.match(r".*\s$", your_string, flags=re.UNICODE)
