Putting an array for each string that is printed to a loop

[ClaudioSimonetti]

I would like to be able to push each | into an array

Here is my function:

def pyramide(lines):
    k = 1 * lines - 1 
    for i in range(0, lines): 
        for j in range(0, k): 
            print(end=" ") 
            k = k - 1
         for j in range(0, i+1): 
            print("|", end=" ") 
            print("\r")

lines = 5
pyramide(lines)

What I tried:

for j in range(0, i+1): 
    each = print("|", end=" ") 
    array.push(each)
    print("\r")

But it doesn't seem to add it into an array, my question is how I can push each | into an array so I can delete it later

expected input:

pyramide(5)

expected output:

    |
   | |
  | | |
 | | | |

Then I should be able to remove a | from each line by

 stickDelete(3, 2) # first paramater is the line, second is how much | would like to delete 
    |
   | |

 | | | |

Thanks for reading.
