Can anyone tell me if there is any function for replacing multiples substrings within a string.
For instance we have this function call to replace multiple appearances of the same substring:
Here I replace all appearances of ';' with '_'
But what I need is a function that receives a list of substrings to replace withing a string.
Here I replace all appearances of ';', ',' and '.' with '_'
regards,
bc.

I don't know if there's a specific function to do it, but you could do a simple for loop like:
Or roll your own little function ie,
Same function, using list instead of string of chars
python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

You can use regexp (re module) instead of string module for that.

If you don't mind learning regex, which is almost another language, but used by many popular computer languages for text manipulation:

Regex it is just that, regular expression. A pattern describing some text.

Never argue with idiots, they'll just bring you down to their level and beat you with their experience.
