AttributeError：'list'对象在尝试删除字符时没有属性'replace'

Question

I am trying to remove the character ' from my string by doing the following

kickoff = tree.xpath('//*[@id="page"]/div[1]/div/main/div/article/div/div[1]/section[2]/p[1]/b[1]/text()')
kickoff = kickoff.replace("'", "")

This gives me the error AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'replace'

Coming from a php background I am unsure what the correct way to do this is?

Answer 1

xpath方法返回一个列表，需要迭代项。

kickoff = [item.replace("'", "") for item in kickoff]

Answer 2

kickoff = tree.xpath('//*[@id="page"]/div[1]/div/main/div/article/div/div[1]/section[2]/p[1]/b[1]/text()')

此代码返回列表而不是string.Replace函数将无法在列表上工作。

[i.replace("'", "") for i in kickoff ]

Answer 3

This worked for me:

kickoff = str(tree.xpath('//*[@id="page"]/div[1]/div/main/div/article/div/div[1]/section[2]/p[1]/b[1]/text()'))
kickoff = kickoff.replace("'", "")

This error is caused because the xpath returns in a list. Lists don't have the replace attribute. So by putting str before it, you convert it to a string which the code can handle. I hope this helped!
