Sorry this might be an easy question but struggling to find a best way. I have list like below, and am wanting to remove all parts that contain any letter and a . afterwards.
So I want to transform this.
list = ['A. Person', 'B. House', 'H. Normal', 'My House', 'Hello World']
And transform it in to this.
list = ['Person', 'House', 'Normal', 'My House', 'Hello World']
What would be the easiest way to do this? I initially thought about a startswith("") but couldn't think what to put in it seeing as all the beginning letters are different. Maybe regex is the best answer?
Many thanks in advance!
Assuming there is only every one period, you could split by ". " and take the last element.
l = ['A. Person', 'B. House', 'H. Normal', 'My House', 'Hello World']
l = [i.split(". ")[-1] for i in l]
print(l)
>>> ['Person', 'House', 'Normal', 'My House', 'Hello World']
