Split text with split function

Im trying to split in python 3.6.

What I need is only abc-1.4.0.0

mytext = "_bla.blub = 'abc-1.4.0.0';"
#print(mytext)
mytext = str.split("_bla.blub = '");
#print (mytext)
print (mytext[1].split("'")[0])

but my result is empty. Why?

Ideally you should be using regex module for such string related stuff. Below is the sample code to extract all the substrings between the single quotes from the given string:

>>> import re

>>> mytext = "_bla.blub = 'abc-1.4.0.0';"
>>> re.findall("'([^']*)'", mytext)
['abc-1.4.0.0']

Try this simpler method (split by single quote):

mytext = "_bla.blub = 'abc-1.4.0.0';"
print(mytext.split("'")[1])

Do this:

mytext = "_bla.blub = 'abc-1.4.0.0';"
mytext = str.split(mytext);
mytext

['_bla.blub', '=', "'abc-1.4.0.0';"]

mytext[2]
"'abc-1.4.0.0';"

OR

mytext = "_bla.blub = 'abc-1.4.0.0';"

mytext = mytext.split("_bla.blub = '")

print (mytext[1].split("'")[0])
abc-1.4.0.0

OR

mytext = "_bla.blub = 'abc-1.4.0.0';"
mytext = mytext.split("'");
mytext

['_bla.blub', '=', "'abc-1.4.0.0';"]

mytext[1]
'abc-1.4.0.0'

mytext = "_bla.blub = 'abc-1.4.0.0';"
print(mytext)
mytext = mytext.split("'");
print (mytext)
print (mytext[0])
print (mytext[1])

You need to call .split() on your string and save it into a variable instead of calling .split() on the strclass. Try this.

You're not actually acting on mytext.

Try the following:

mytext = "_bla.blub = 'abc-1.4.0.0';"
#print(mytext)
mytext = mytext.split("_bla.blub = '")
#print (mytext)
print (mytext[1].split("'")[0])
