Like this:

lst = ['\n', 'hello\n']
new_lst = [entry.replace('\n','') for entry in lst]
print(new_lst) #['', 'hello']

its not working.. Is any library or built-in function available for this ?? – Salman Khatri Sep 07 '19 at 16:54
Well, you would need Python to run it. Apart from yet, nothing is needed. – Carsten Sep 09 '19 at 06:56
