How to remove \r\n in command prompt after running

Question

Whenever I run the code. it gives me \r\n with spaces. I used strip function but it didn't work. How to resolve this issue? Here is the link: https://ibb.co/VtVV2fb\

import scrapy
from .. items import FetchingItem

class SiteFetching(scrapy.Spider):
    name = 'Site'
    start_urls = ['https://www.rev.com/freelancers']
    transcription_page = 'https://www.rev.com/freelancers/transcription'

    def parse(self, response):
    items = {
    'Heading': response.css('#sign-up::text').extract(),
    'Earn_steps': response.css('.pb2 .lh-copy::text , .mb1::text , .mb3 .lh-copy::text').extract(), 
    }

    yield response.follow(self.transcription_page, self.trans_faqs, meta={'items':items})

    def trans_faqs(self, response):
    items = response.meta['items']
    names = {
    'name1': 'FAQ1',
    'name2': 'FAQ2', 
    }

    finder = {
    'find1': '#whatentailed p::text , #whatentailed .mr3::text',
    'find2': '#requirements p::text , #requirements .mr3::text',
    }

    for name, find in zip(names.values(), finder.values()):
        items[name] = response.css(find.strip()).extract()
    yield items

strip() can remove \r\n only at the end of string, but not inside. If you have \r\n inside text then use text = text.replace(\r\n', '')

it seems you get \r\n in list created by extract() so you have to use list comprehension to remove from every element on list

data = response.css(find).extract()
data = [x.replace('\r\n', '').strip() for x in data]
items[name] = data

EDIT: to remove spaces and \r\n between sentences you can split('\r\n') to create list with sentences. then you can strip() every sentence. And you can ' '.join() all sentences back to one string.

text = 'Sentence 1\r\n    Sentence 2'

data = text.split('\r\n')
data = [x.strip() for x in data]
text = ' '.join(data)

print(text)

The same in one line

text = 'Sentence 1\r\n    Sentence 2'

text = ' '.join(x.strip() for x in text.split('\r\n'))

print(text)

The same with module re

import re

text = 'Sentence 1\r\n    Sentence 2'

text = re.sub('\r\n\s+', ' ', text)

print(text)

for name, find in zip(names.values(), finder.values()):
    data = response.css(find.strip()).extract()
    data = [re.sub('\r\n\s+', ' ', text) for text in data]
    items[name] = data
