Issue

I have a list called "list", which consists of about 20K strings, and I need to remove from it elements which have "text": "" in it.

I'm creating a new clean list like this

clean_list = []

for i in list:
  if '"text": ""' in i == False:
    clean_list.append(i)
  print(i)

But elements don't append and clean_list is empty. What can be the problem? Smth is wrong with the cycle.

How else can I get rid of some elements in the list?

Solution

First, you should not name variables with protected keywords like list.

For your use case you could use list comprehension:

clean_list = [string for string in list if '"text": ""' not in string]
