Remove special characters python

Question

I’m trying to remove special characters, but the dataframe just prints the same content without removing special characters.

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import re

movies = pd.read_csv(‘Moviesreviews.csv')
movies['original_title’] = movies[‘title’] + movies ['overview']

movies["original_title"] = movies["original_title"]

temp_str = ''

temp_str=re.sub('[^a-zA-Z0-9 \n\.]', '', temp_str)

movies.head()

Answer 1

import pandas as pd

movies = pd.read_csv('Moviesreviews.csv')
movies['original_title'] = movies['title'] + movies ['overview']
movies["original_title_clean"] = movies["original_title"].str.replace(r'\W', '', regex=True)

movies.head()
