Python Program to Remove Punctuations from a String

Write a Python program to remove punctuations from a string. We declared a string of possible punctuation characters and used a for loop to iterate the given text.

In this example, the if statement checks each character against punctuations, and if it is not found, the char will be assigned to a new string, which removes the punctuations.

punctuations = '''`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+{}[]\|;:'",.<>?'''

orgStr = "Hi!!, Welcome, Tutorial-Gateway?"

newStr = ""

for char in orgStr:
    if char not in punctuations:
        newStr = newStr + char

print("\nThe Original String Before Removing Punctuations")
print(orgStr)

print("\nThe Final String After Removing Punctuations")
print(newStr)

This program allows the user to enter a string and remove the punctuation from it.

orgStr = input("Please Enter Any String = ")

punctuations = '''`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+{}[]\|;:'",.<>?'''

newStr = ""

for char in orgStr:
    if char not in punctuations:
        newStr = newStr + char

print("\nBefore Removing")
print(orgStr)

print("\nAfter Removing")
print(newStr)

Please Enter Any String = Learn@#&^%$# Python<>? Programs?

Before Removing

The below program helps to remove punctuations from a string using a while loop.

orgStr = input("Please Enter Any Text = ")

punctuations = '''`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+{}[]\|;:'",.<>?'''

newStr = ""

i = 0
while i < len(orgStr):
    if orgStr[i] not in punctuations:
        newStr = newStr + orgStr[i]
    i = i + 1

print("\nBefore Removing")
print(orgStr)

print("\nTAfter Removing")
print(newStr)

Please Enter Text = hi!!@ tutorial @@#&^ gateway {}\ followers

Before Removing 
hi!!@ tutorial @@#&^ gateway {}\ followers

After Removing
hi tutorial  gateway  followers
