Question

good day guys! suppose i have a string with a format like so ^a.b.c^ and i want to only get a.b.c . can you teach me a more efficient way to strip the delimiters than my code below? thanks

### line = '^123.456.102345^'
start = line.find ('^')
line = line[(start+1):]
end = line.find ('^')
line = line[:end]
print line

Answer 1

>>> s = '^a.b.c^'
>>> s.strip('^')
'a.b.c'
