Remove spaces in a string

Question

I have this function:

def cesar():
    n = int(raw_input("Introdueix la teva clau: "))
    f = raw_input("Introdueix la frase a xifrar: ")
    for ch in f:
        xifrat = int(ord(ch)+int(n))
        textxifrat = chr(xifrat)

        print textxifrat,
cesar()

And I want to remove the spaces from the output or the string. Problem is if I use the .replace Python says that it can't be applied to a str and I don't know any other way to remove those spaces.

The idea is that I want something like this: M t q f % v z j % f x j to become this: Mtqf%vzj%fxj

CAn you show how you applied `replace` please. There is something strange so strange or you are making a typo or something. — Mp0int, Sep 30 '15 at 07:03
I think he found one of the tutorials and used str instead of his declaration (http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/string_replace.htm) — Darnell W., Sep 30 '15 at 07:06

Why you can't use .replace()?

>>> a = 'M t q f % v z j % f x j'
>>> a.replace(' ', '')
'Mtqf%vzj%fxj'
>>>

You may simply join the string elements with empty string "" after splitting the whole string on white spaces.:

>>> "".join("M t q f % v z j % f x j".split())
>>> Mtqf%vzj%fxj

First split the raw input.

tmp = f.split()

Then join it

result = "".join(tmp)

Give this a try?

def cesar():
    n = int(raw_input("Introdueix la teva clau: "))
    f = raw_input("Introdueix la frase a xifrar: ")

    print f.replace(' ', '')

This can be done by using replace().

   str ="%5 65 hfhf ? fgdgdf ";
   str = str.replace(' ','')
   print(str)

This code will remove blank spaces from the string.

The only real difference between this and @Kevin's earlier answer is that this one masks the `str` built-in function. – TigerhawkT3 Sep 30 '15 at 08:16
