Python beginner that needs an expression added to existing script

[markham]

I have a python script that scrubs emails and works well.

I need to add the ability to remove everything including and after the string "Still have questions" after the second def of "removte_http_links" in the following part of the script.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

def extract_http_links(payload):     # pattern = r'https?://[^\s<>"]+|www\.[^\s<>"]+'     pattern = r'http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+=]|[!*\\(\\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+'     http_links = re.findall(pattern, payload)     return http_links   def remove_http_links(payload):     #pattern = r'https?://[^\s<>"]+|www\.[^\s<>"]+'     pattern = r'<http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+=<>]|[\r\n]|[!*\\(\\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+'     payload_without_links = re.sub(pattern, '', payload)     pattern = r'http[s]?://(?:[a-zA-Z]|[0-9]|[$-_@.&+=<>]|[\r\n]|[!*\\(\\),]|(?:%[0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]))+'     payload_without_links = re.sub(pattern, '', payload_without_links)     return payload_without_links

NEW EXPRESSION TO BE PUT IN HERE IN THE PROCESS

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

def send_all_email(message_all , subject):     print(subject)     print(message_all.encode('utf-8'))     msg = MIMEMultipart()     msg['From'] = username     msg['To'] = forward_address #   msg['Subject'] = subject     msg.attach(MIMEText(message_all))     mail = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, smtp_port)     mail.ehlo()     mail.starttls()     mail.ehlo()     mail.login(username, password)     mail.sendmail(username, forward_address, msg.as_string())     mail.quit()

I would appreciate any input to accomplish this task in the sequence above.

Thanks in advance.

I presume your email is a text file or string. A simple way to achieve this is .split()

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

myemail = """ All kinds of email info here   https://python-forum.io/thread-40619.html   I was visiting friends in Princeton one Saturday in the 1950s when our host asked his son-in-law, Bill Bennett, and me (Bruce) if we’d like to spend the evening with his friend, Albert Einstein. Two awed physics grad- uate students soon waited in Einstein’s living room as he came downstairs in slippers and sweatshirt. I remember tea and cookies but not how the conversation started.   Still have Questions   Einstein soon asked about our quantum mechanics course. He approved of our professor’s choice of David Bohm’s book as the text, and he asked how we liked Bohm’s treatment of the strangeness quantum theory implied. """   result = myemail.split('Still have Questions')[0]
