        #     dec=dec.strip()
                
        d1=''
        d2=''

        d4=''
        d5=''
        
        detail=response.xpath("//div[@class='av_bot_left left']//p")
        for i in range(len(detail)):
           
              if 'Decizia de intrare:' in detail[i].get():
                d1=detail[i].xpath('.//text()').getall()
            
                d1 = [i.strip() for i in d1 if i.strip()][-1]
                print(d1)
                
                
              elif 'Telefon:' in detail[i].get():
                d2=detail[i].xpath('.//text()').getall()
                d2 = [i.strip() for i in d2 if i.strip()][-1]
                print(d2)

This is my output. I want to remove the dot from the phone number and replace 0 With +. This is the page link https://www.baroul-bucuresti.ro/avocat/15655/aanegroae-ana-maria

0752.172.817

I want the output to look like this:

+752 172 817

Solution

You can use the replace() function to solve the part of changing dots by spaces, also you need to slice the first character of the string to remove the first zero:

out = "0752.172.817"
out = "+ " + out[1:].replace(".", " ")
print(out)

Note that you must not use replace() to remove the first zero as the phone number could contain a zero and be replaced by a + character
Output:

+ 752 172 817
