I have the text "languageType" : "en", and I want to replace it with en. How do I do it using replace? I've tried this so far so it's not working
lang = s.split(":")[0].replace("[\"']", "", -1).strip()
print(lang)
But I keep getting "en"

1Welcome to SO! Seems like you might have a key-value JSON entry there. How about `json.loads`? – ggorlen Feb 08 '21 at 02:38

What I want is to do with the replace method. – jaeyun kim Feb 08 '21 at 02:59

1The replace method doesn't accept a regular expression, but rather a string. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5658369/how-to-input-a-regex-in-string-replace – xdhmoore Feb 08 '21 at 03:12

The replace method doesn't accept a regular expression, but rather a string. To replace with a regex use re.sub(). See How to input a regex in string.replace?
I've made the same mistake before, myself.
