Help removing asterisk item in a nested list. - bmcguire - Apr-03-2020

I have a script that successfully accesses a network switch and retrieves a list of vlans and associated ports.
The live ports have an asterisk at the end.

I need to remove the asterisks.

Here is the list:

nvlanlist = [['VLAN_2344', 'ae0.0*'], ['VLAN_2344', 'ae1.0*'], ['VLAN_2344', 'ge-0/0/1.0'], ['VLAN_2344', 'ge-0/0/10.0*'], ['VLAN_2344', 'ge-0/0/11.0'], ['VLAN_2344', 'ge-0/0/12.0*'], ['VLAN_2344', 'ge-0/0/13.0*']]

Rather than showing all my failed attempts, I'm just asking for help.

Python 3.8.2

What have you tried? How have you thought about solving the problem, in terms of the steps (in plain English, rather than code)?

I've tried replace with nothing and remove.

After some sleep and not looking at it for two days the correct result was easy. Replace worked. I was trying to replace all asterisks in the list at once. Instead of going through them one at at time.

Here is my final code that producing a list without the asterisks.

from jnpr.junos import Device
from jnpr.junos.utils.config import Config
from pprint import pprint
import getpass,csv,sys,pprint
from jnpr.junos.factory.factory_loader import FactoryLoader
import yaml,sys
from jnpr.junos.op.ethport import EthPortTable

z=0

yaml.warnings({'YAMLLoadWarning': False})
with open("lldp-neighbors.yml", 'r') as tvs:
globals().update(FactoryLoader().load(yaml.load(tvs)))
#host = input("Host :")
host = '10.44.2.3'

username=raw_input("\nEnter your device username: ")
password=getpass.getpass(prompt="\nEnter your device password: ")
nvlanlist=[]
count=0
#with Device(host=host, user='enumber', password='password',gather_facts=True) as dev:
with Device(host=host, user=username, password=password,gather_facts=True) as dev:

vlanlocal = VlanInformationTable(dev)
vlanlocalELS=VlanInformationTableELS(dev)
vlanlocal.get()
vlanlocalELS.get()
model = (dev.facts['model'])

if '4600' in model or '3400' in model or '4300' in model or '2300' in model:
for item in vlanlocalELS:
if item.tag != '0':
for y in item.members:
if len(y) == 1:
if count ==0:
nvlanlist.append([item.name,item.members.replace('*','')])
count = count +1
else:
nvlanlist.append([item.name,item.members[z].replace('*','')])
z=z+1
z=0
else:
for item in vlanlocal:
if item.tag != '0':
count = 0
for y in item.members:
if len(y) == 1:
if count ==0:
nvlanlist.append([item.name,item.members.replace('*','')])
count = count +1
else:
nvlanlist.append([item.name,item.members[z].replace('*','')])
z=z+1
z=0
for item in nvlanlist:
print (item[0]+','+item[1])

Sorry here is my code correctly entered into the thread.

Thanks for showing the solution that worked for you.
To show another way.
