Python - Create new list from a list by applying filter

Question

I have a list below:

list = [NEW - FROM VOLUNTARY SECTOR,NEW - FROM PUBLIC SECTOR,
LEAVER - RESIGNED,LEAVER - RETIRED,NEW - FROM PRIVATE SECTOR,
SECONDEE PRIVATE SECTOR,SECONDEE VOLUNTARY SECTOR]

Is there a way to create a new list from above list which has all values except values starting with word 'NEW'. So my example output would look like:

sublist = [LEAVER - RESIGNED,LEAVER - RETIRED,
SECONDEE PRIVATE SECTOR,SECONDEE VOLUNTARY SECTOR]

I feel I should be able to loop over the list using

for x in list:
    if list(x)!="NEW*":
        sublist.append(x)

But can't get this to work

Answer 1

Try:

x = ['NEW - FROM VOLUNTARY SECTOR','NEW - FROM PUBLIC SECTOR','LEAVER - RESIGNED','LEAVER - RETIRED','NEW - FROM PRIVATE SECTOR','SECONDEE PRIVATE SECTOR','SECONDEE VOLUNTARY SECTOR']

y = [i for i in x if not i.startswith("NEW")]

print(y)

Output:

['LEAVER - RESIGNED', 'LEAVER - RETIRED', 'SECONDEE PRIVATE SECTOR', 'SECONDEE VOLUNTARY SECTOR']
