python replace not working

I am trying to do multiple replaces in python but the replace is not working, it only replaces the <UNK> but not </s>. Can anybody tell me where the error is?

text=text.replace(":<UNK>","")
text=text.replace("</s>","")

Your code worked correctly but You can use regular expression to find and replace the text.

import re
text = '1.595879e-04(Kan) 7.098440e-08(Şekerini:<UNK>) 2.558586e-06(Etkileyen) 7.671361e-07(Besinler) 3.731427e-02(</s>) (ailehekimligi-0000000001)'
output = re.sub(r':<UNK>', '', text)
output = re.sub(r':</s>', '', text)
print(output)

also if you have unicode string, you can use u'' before text and your replace statement.
