Question

If I have a series of python strings that I’m working with that will always take the form of

initialword_content

and I want to strip out the initialword portion, which will always be the same number of characters, and then I want to turn all instances of _ into spaces — since content may have some underscores in it — what’s the easiest way to do that?

Answer 1

strs = "initialword_content"
strs = strs[12:].replace("_", " ")
print strs

Due to the initialword always has same number of character, so you can just get the suffix of the string. And use string.replace to replace all “_” into spaces.
