remove characters from the first items in list of lists

I have a nested list and in every list the first item is a string that ends with .abc. I would like to remove all the .abc characters from my nested list.

Here's what I have got:

x = [['car.abc', 1, 2], ['ship.abc', 3, 4]]

And I would like to my nested list to be the following:

x = [['car', 1, 2], ['ship', 3, 4]]

How can I achieve this?

Solution

  • Using a simple for loop.

    x = [['car.abc', 1, 2], ['ship.abc', 3, 4]]
for i in x:
    i[0] = i[0].rsplit(".", 1)[0]
print(x)
