I'm trying to save ('ls -l') results in a variable using subprocess.Popen, my problem is when I print the array it has '\n' for every element.

this is my code

result = subprocess.Popen("ls -1 | sed -e 's/\..*$//'", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
variables = result.stdout.readlines()

I can't use strip() since variables is not a list.

is there any way to remove those '\n' ?

`readlines()` **does** return a list, you can `map` over every element calling `strip` – yorodm Feb 27 '19 at 16:00
so how should i do it ? – Oz Giat Feb 27 '19 at 19:41
`map(str.strip,variables)`? – yorodm Feb 27 '19 at 19:45
