Deletion of multiple characters inside of a string
i want the string 'abc'
abc="['one']"\n['two']"
to output

as far as i know:
.strip() only replaces characters at the beginning and at the ending of the string
.translate() only takes one variable
.replace() only works with 1 character.

Reading and Striping a text file
import re
f= ('HelloHowAreYou')
