Answer 1

Don't wanna use CSV module or in-built function? How about using regEx?

Answer 2

You can obviously do that even without using regEx by iterating through entire string and then applying some conditions to filter out the characters you want and may be replace those by another characters. But it'll be lengthy and time consuming as the string becomes longer and search pattern becomes complex but again, yep you can do that.

Answer 3
