string slicing help - oli_action - Mar-22-2020 Hi guys, I'm new to coding and i've started teaching myself Python and am currently learning "string slicing". I need help with the following: guitars = 'gibson | fender | ibanez' guitars.index("|") 7 stock2020 = guitars[:guitars.index("|")] stock2020 'gibson 'How would I get the second guitar( | fender | ) on a seperate "excel block"? How do i get to the second pipe or any following same letter(i) without counting? Thanks RE: string slicing help - buran - Mar-22-2020 why not just split at ' | ' ?>>> guitars = 'gibson | fender | ibanez' >>> guitars = guitars.split(' | ') >>> guitars[1] 'fender' RE: string slicing help - oli_action - Mar-22-2020 Just awesome!
