Slicing URL with Python

Question

I am working with a huge list of URL\'s. Just a quick question I have trying to slice a part of the URL out, see below:

http://www.domainname.com/page?CONTEN         


        

Answer 1

I figured it out below is what I needed to do:

url = "http://www.domainname.com/page?CONTENT_ITEM_ID=1234¶m2¶m3"
url = url[: url.find("&")]
print url
'http://www.domainname.com/page?CONTENT_ITEM_ID=1234'
