Question

I’m new to Python and after this one script I probably won’t work with Python at all. I’m extracting some data using Scrapy and have to filter out some string (I’ve already done this with digits using isdigit()). Googling gives me pages about filtering out special strings, but what I want is really just a small part of a larger string.

This is the string:

Nima Python: how are you?

What I want left:

how are you?

so this part removed:

Nima Python:

Thanks in advance guys.

Answer 1

This works:

>>> s = "Nima Python: how are you?"
>>> s.replace("Nima Python: ", "") # replace with empty string to remove
'how are you?'
