Answer 1

Calvin [Inactive] thanks but is there a way to use metacharactors to do this??

Answer 2

re.sub() matches all occurences of the pattern if no count parameter has been set.
So pay attention to the blanks in your pattern and replacement strings.
They should be " a" and an empty string, just two quotes without anything in between : ''.
I deleted some blanks, tried your code and got the expected output.
