Tips

gsub R equivalent in python (extract regex group)

barcode = re.sub("([0-9]*)_(.*)_([0-9]*)_([0-9]*)_(.*)", "\\5", barcode)

Replace certain string in all element from a list

content2 = [w.replace('"', '') for w in content] # replace all quotes and remove first row

Convert unicode string to string

a = u"jkasdkhasd"
a.encode('ascii','ignore')
