New to Python.
Say I wanted to get the total number of '.' or '!' in a body of text, what is the 'pythonic' way of doing so? I'd think there would be something like: text.count(LIST)
I realize the below would work, but wondering what the python people think.
for char in list(text):
if char in LIST:
sum += 1

If i had a list as an example:
a = ['Hello_1.txt', 'Hello_2.txt']
In Python is it possible to somehow remove the first 5 characters ('Hello')
and the last 3 characters ('txt') from each of the items in the list ?
You could use a list-comprehension and string slicing:
[s[5:-3] for s in a]
which gives what you describe (not sure this is the neatest output though!)
['_1.', '_2.']

\201 is a character code recognised in Python. What is the best way to ignore this in strings?
s = '\2016'
s = s.replace('\\', '/')
print s #6
If you have a string literal with a backslash in it, you can escape the backslash:
s = '\\2016'
or you can use a "raw" string:
s = r'\2016'

In Python: How do I write a function that would remove "x" number of characters from the beginning of a string?
For instance if my string was "gorilla" and I want to be able remove two letters it would then return "rilla".
OR if my string was "table" and I wanted to remove the first three letters it would return "le".
Please help and thank you everyone!
You can use this syntax called slices
s = 'gorilla'
s[2:]
will return
'rilla'
