Python delete in a string

Question

Answer 1

If you refer to string elements, you can utilize str.rsplit() to separate each string, setting maxsplit to 1.

str.rsplit([sep[, maxsplit]])

Return a list of the words in the string, using sep as the delimiter string. If maxsplit is given, at most maxsplit splits are done, the rightmost ones. If sep is not specified or None, any whitespace string is a separator. Except for splitting from the right, rsplit() behaves like split() which is described in detail below.

>>> lst = "YELLOW,SMALL,STRETCH,ADULT,T"
>>> lst.rsplit(',',1)[0]
'YELLOW,SMALL,STRETCH,ADULT'
>>>
