How to strip an individual list item (string)?

I have a line like the following:

ping = subprocess.call('Fping.exe -H %s -L pingResults.txt -l' % 'IPsToPING')

Where IPsTPING is a list, my problem is that it returns the IPs inside that list with [ (just the first IP and the last one with ]) and single quotes around each IP like that:

'192.168.1.1'

The problem is that Fping.exe is failing to do its work since it gets an IP address with quotes.

I would like to somehow stripe these quotes from every IP (or list item), and the [ ] from the first and the last items.

I am using Python 3.x. Thanks.

You need to format the list of IPs yourself:

ip_string = ",".join(IPsToPING)
subprocess.call('Fping.exe -H %s ...' % ip_string)

(assuming a comma-separated list is what you want).
