How do I slice a string at a particular index with python?

I'm trying to write only a file name to a .txt file, however, the entire file path is being written i.e. C:\Users\OneDrive\a.png

I only want a.png to be written. I know I can slice a string in python like this:

a="abcdefg"
print(a[2:4])
cd

but how do I do this at a fixed point in a string?

The file path will always remain static although the file name and length itself will change.

you can split with \ and take the last element:

your_path = "C:\\Users\\OneDrive\\a.png"
print(your_path.split("\\")[-1])
