I have a string value printing in multiple lines. I used three single/double quotes for assigning string value

```
artist = """
       Mariah
       Carey
       """
 name = 'My all'
 realeased_year = 1997
 genre = 'Latin'
 duration_seconds = 231

print(f'{artist}(full name has {len(artist.strip().replace(" ", ""))} characters) and her song \'{name}\' was released in {realeased_year + 1}')

```

**It outputs wrong number of characters: 12**

However, when I assign a string value in one line like

```
artist = 'Mariah Carey'

```

I have correct number of **characters 11**

Is it possible to remove all white spaces (leading, middle and trailing) from multi line string value without using regular expressions
