如何在python中使用正则表达式删除字符串的右侧元素？

Question

I am new to regex and python.

My patterns are

'Contact: Order Procesing'
'Contact: ice.cream@cream.com'
'Contact: Opr & Packaging Supply'
'Contact: JOE (continued)'
'Contact: BOB/LORA/JACKIE'
'Contact: Ben - FTTC CER (continued)'

now I need to find the pattern to match contact and remove the entire string with a blank space.

re.findall(r"Contact:",text)

matches text with Contact. The problem is I do not know how to remove the Contact and right part of the Contact.

Is there any most efficient pythonic way to do this

Answer 1

Use re.sub

Ex:

import re

d = ['Contact: Order Procesing', 'Contact: ice.cream@cream.com', 'Contact: Opr & Packaging Supply', 'Contact: JOE (continued)', 'Contact: BOB/LORA/JACKIE', 'Contact: Ben - FTTC CER (continued)']

for i in d:
    print(re.sub(r"^Contact:.*", "", i))
