how do I strip off everything after a certain string

basically I want to turn something like this

FlorenceBuilding04_geometry_clean_001_Loc1_position

to 

/root/world/geo/FlorenceBuilding04_model_geometry

and

FlorenceBuilding05_geometry1_clean_001_Loc1_position

to 

/root/world/geo/FlorenceBuilding05_model_geometry

Code:

s = GetName()
if s.endswith( "_position" ):
    rootname = "/root/world/geo/"+s[ :- 18 ].rstrip("_")
    rootname =rootname.replace("geometry","model_geometry")

thanks in advance

Solution

  • And you could do this also:

    >>> a = 'FlorenceBuilding04_geometry_clean_001_Loc1_position'
>>> path = '/root/world/geo/' + a.split('geometry')[0] + 'model_geometry'
>>> print(path)
/root/world/geo/FlorenceBuilding04_model_geometry
