How do i read message content in discord.py?

Question

What i want to do is get the stats of an osu. player. However i do not know how to read message content after the $getstats command.

osu_url = 'https://osu.ppy.sh/users/'


if message.content.startswith('$getstats'):
    player_name = #read content after $getstats
    osu_url = 'https://osu.ppy.sh/users/' + player_name

Can anyone explain how to read message content?

Answer 1

You can simply use

player_name = message.content[9:]

Where 9 = len("$getstats")

Answer 2

A possiable soultion, spliting the string by $getstats .

osu_url = 'https://osu.ppy.sh/users/'

if message.content.startswith('$getstats'):
    _, player_name = message.content.split('$getstats')
    osu_url = 'https://osu.ppy.sh/users/' + player_name
