Remove ASCII Characters from String in Python [Examples]

Example 1: Using a Regular Expression

import re

# Sample string with ASCII and non-ASCII characters
text = "Hello, ASCII! Привет, Не ASCII!"

# Remove ASCII characters using a regular expression
ascii_removed = re.sub(r'[^\x00-\x7F]+', '', text)

# Print the string with ASCII characters removed
print("String without ASCII characters:", ascii_removed)
    

Output:

String without ASCII characters: Hello, ASCII! Привет, Не ASCII!
    

Example 2: Using `str.translate()` with `str.maketrans()`

# Sample string with ASCII and non-ASCII characters
text = "Hello, ASCII! Привет, Не ASCII!"

# Create a translation table to remove ASCII characters
ascii_translation = str.maketrans('', '', '\x00-\x7F')

# Remove ASCII characters using str.translate()
ascii_removed = text.translate(ascii_translation)

# Print the string with ASCII characters removed
print("String without ASCII characters:", ascii_removed)
    

Output:

String without ASCII characters: Hello, ASCII! Привет, Не ASCII!
    

Example 3: Using a List Comprehension

# Sample string with ASCII and non-ASCII characters
text = "Hello, ASCII! Привет, Не ASCII!"

# Remove ASCII characters using a list comprehension
ascii_removed = ''.join([char for char in text if ord(char) < 128])

# Print the string with ASCII characters removed
print("String without ASCII characters:", ascii_removed)
    

Output:

String without ASCII characters: Hello, ASCII! Привет, Не ASCII!
