browser.get_form - forms with a text area returns a prefixed \r when empty and \r\rn when filled

[tanner-pm]

I am running into an issue with forms that have text areas. When grabbing the form using browser.get_form all blank text areas return a \r and when submitted now have a new line.

Also, all non-blank text areas are prefixed with a \r\n to the front of it when pulling the form.

Have you tried to use .strip() over the field return?
I normally use it to clean the string return from tables or inputs while scrapping.

>>> string = "\n\rHello World"
>>> string
'\n\rHello World'
>>> string.strip()
'Hello World'
>>>

Yep. That's what I ended up doing. Thanks for the reply!
