The rstrip() method removes trailing whitespace characters from a string. We can also specify custom characters to remove from end of string.

Let's take an example to remove whitespace from the ends of a string.

Python
s = "Hello Python!   "
res = s.rstrip()
print(res)

Output
Hello Python!

Syntax of rstrip() Method

s.rstrip(chars)

  • s: The input string
  • chars (optional): A set of characters to remove as trailing characters

Examples of rstrip() Method

Remove Trailing Whitespaces

Python
s = "   Hello Python!     "
res = s.rstrip()
print(res)

Output
   Hello Python!

Remove Custom Characters

If we have a string with various characters that we want to remove from end of the string.

Python
s = '  ##*#Hello Python!#**##  '

# removes all occurrences of '#', '*', and ' ' 
# from the end of string
res = s.rstrip('#* ')
print(res)

Output
  ##*#Hello Python!

Notes:

  • rstrip('#* ') removes any #, *, and spaces from the end of string.
  • It stops stripping characters from the end of string once it encounters a character that are not in the specified set of characters.

Remove Newline Characters

We can also remove the trailing newline characters (\n) from a string.

Python
s = '\nHello Python!\n'

# Removing newline characters
# from the end of string
res = s.rstrip()

print(res)

Output
Hello Python!
