如何在Python中仅从字符串中打印特定名称

Question

This is my input string:

C:\Company\ProjectList\ProjectName\Requriment\..etc

I would like expected output string:

ProjectName

I want to print only project name from the string. Is this possible in Python?

Answer 1

You can use os.sep to split by a delimiter. The benefit of this method is if you move to a different system and your input paths change format, you will not need to modify your code.

Note that, as per your example, we want to access the 4th component in your path when splitting by os.sep . Since indexing begins at 0 , we index by [3] .

import os

x = r'C:\Company\ProjectList\ProjectName\Requriment'

res = x.split(os.sep)[3]

print(res)

ProjectName

Answer 2

If you certainly know your project structure, split your text then print the part u want. In your case for ex: ` C:\\Company\\ProjectList\\ProjectName\\Requriment\\
This will print what you want:

raw = "Input String: C:\Company\ProjectList\ProjectName\Requriment\..etc"
name = raw.split("\\")[3]

If you don't know the structure for sure, I don't think there is a fast, pythonic way to extract project name. You must build a model for name recognition

Answer 3

This will get you the project name:

string = "C:\Company\ProjectList\ProjectName\Requriment\"

project_name = string.split("\\")[3]

This will only work if project name is always the fourth element.

Note that the back slash needs to be escaped with another backslash.
