I'm looking for a way in python to achieve similar functionality to the unix cut
utility. I know I can make a system call and process my data that way but I'd like to make it a bit more "pythonic" and do it with python libraries.
Example text
abcde:12345
I'd like to delimit on :
and keep the second field:
cut -d':' -f2
to produce:
12345
thoughts?
You can do:
string.split(":")[1]
where string is your text
