I am trying to make a function that takes typically copy-pasted text that very often includes n characters. An example of such is as follows:

func('''This
is

some
text
that I entered''')

The problem with this function is the text can sometimes be rather large, so taking it line by line to avoid ', " or ''' isn't plausible. A piece of text that can cause issues is as follows:

func('''This
is'''

some"
text'
that I entered''')

I wanted to know if there is any way I can take the text as seen in the second example and use it as a string regardless of what it is comprised of.

Thanks!

  Are you looking to extract full strings, minus the newline characters? The output would be This is some text that I entered?

To my knowledge, you won't be able to paste the text directly into your file. However, you could paste it into a text file.

Use regex to find triple quotes ''' and other invalid characters.

Example python:

def read_paste(file):
 import re

 with open(file,'r') as f:
 data = f.readlines()

 for i,line in enumerate(data):
 data[i] = re.sub('("|')',r'\1',line)

 output = str()
 for line in data:
 output += line

 return output

  If what you say is true then this question simply doesn't have an answer. While this is a valid way of saving the example strings I gave into a string object, it wont work for inside the file, so I can't mark this as answered
