Python string.strip stripping too many characters
python
Solution
`strip()` removes all the leading and trailing characters from the input string that match one of the characters in the parameter string:
>>> "abcdefabcdefabc".strip("cba")
'defabcdef'
You want to use a regex: `table_name = re.sub(r"\.csv$", "", name)` or `os.path`s path manipulation functions:
>>> table_name, extension = os.path.splitext("movies.csv")
>>> table_name
'movies'
>>> extension
'.csv'
Problem
I am using Python 3 to process file names, and this is my code: ``` name = 'movies.csv' table_name = name.strip(".csv") ``` The expected value of table_name should be "movies" yet table_name keeps returning "movie". Why is it doing this?
