How can I get the first word in a discord message using discord.py?

Question

Hi so for a project i want to get the first word of message ( it will be an @ and after it I will remove a role but don't dwell on it )

I can't show my code because it will need a few dozen minutes of explaining some random things ( because it use other bots )

You can do this by splitting the message content with the .split() method into a list, and then getting the first element of that list.

Message I send in the discord:

This is a test for stackoverflow

output in the console:

full message: This is a test for stackoverflow

first word: "This"

code:

@bot.event
    async def on_message(message):
    full_message = message.content
    first_word_of_message = message.content.split()[0]

    print(f'full message: {full_message}')
    print(f'first word: "{first_word_of_message}"')
