I need a python script that deletes all symbols in a plain text file.
For example, I want that all 'd', all 'f' and all '0' (zeros) in a plain text file to be deleted and not replaced by other symbols.

Is open() good for this task or I should use something else?

Thanks i advance!

You cannot delete things from a file. You can read a file and write a new file that has the contents of the old sans the unwanted symbols.

There are tools that do this kind of thing. What operating system are you using.

Link to stackoverflow post where sed is used to remove strings from a file.
