Python's str.rstrip(~) method returns a string with the specified trailing characters removed. Default is to remove all trailing spaces (i.e. spaces on the right).
Parameters
1. chars | string | optional
The string specifying the combination of trailing characters to remove from right of the string. Default is whitespace.
Return value
A string with the specified trailing characters stripped.
Examples
Basic usage
To strip all trailing whitespace from "Dog ":
x = "Dog "x.rstrip()
'Dog'
Chars parameter
To remove all combinations of trailing ' re' from "SkyTowner ":
y = "SkyTowner "y.rstrip(' re')
'SkyTown'
We remove all combinations of ' ', 'r' and 'e' from the end of the string which gives us return value of 'SkyTown'.
Case sensitivity
To remove all trailing 'R' from "SkyTowner":
z = "SkyTowner"z.rstrip('R')
'SkyTowner'
Note that no trailing characters are removed as there is a mismatch at the very right of the string where char argument of 'R' does not match with 'r'. As this shows, rstrip(~) method is case sensitive.
