Extract string starting from string

Question

I have a URL:

/c/s/www.local.com/pure/123/india/news/hunt-still-on-for-biker-who-gunned-down-man

I want to extract the string starting from /pure:

/pure/123/india/news/hunt-still-on-for-biker-who-gunned-down-man

What is the best way to do it in python.

Answer 1

Use index() and the [] notation.

str = "/c/s/www.local.com/pure/123/india/news/hunt-still-on-for-biker-who-gunned-down-man"
print(str[str.index("/pure"):])

str[index:] means grab all chars from str starting at index till the end of the string.

Answer 2

这就是你要找的：

url[url.index('/pure'):]

Answer 3

If the number of characters is always the same from the beginning of the string you can just dismiss the first characters. ex. a_string = "/c/s/www.local.com/pure/123/india/news/hunt-still-on-for-biker-who-gunned-down-man"

print (a_string[24:])

Then you can consider regular expressions, as well as other methods.
