Find substring from end to index of a delimiter in PYTHON

I have a string say /jrfServer_domain/jrfServer_admin/HelloWorld , now all I want is HelloWorld . How can I extract it from such strings ? In this case my delimiter is / . I'm very new to python.

Using str.rfind and slice notation:

In [725]: t='/jrfServer_domain/jrfServer_admin/HelloWorld'

In [726]: t[t.rfind('/')+1:]
Out[726]: 'HelloWorld'

>>> s=r'/jrfServer_domain/jrfServer_admin/HelloWorld'
>>> s.split('/')[-1]
'HelloWorld'

maybe you should update your delimiter in your question to "/"

You can use os.path.basename:

>>> import os
>>> s = '/jrfServer_domain/jrfServer_admin/HelloWorld'
>>> os.path.basename(s)
'HelloWorld'

You can use str.rpartition like this

data = "/jrfServer_domain/jrfServer_admin/HelloWorld"
print(data.rpartition("/")[-1])
# HelloWorld
