extract last two fields from split
python
Solution
If `s` is the string containing the IPv6 address, use
s.split(":")[-2:]
to get the last two components. The `split()` method will return a list of all components, and the `[-2:]` will slice this list to return only the last two elements.
Problem
I want to extract last two field values from a variable of varying length. For example, consider the three values below: ``` fe80::e590:1001:7d11:1c7e ff02::1:ff1f:fb6 fe80::7cbe:e61:f5ab:e62 ff02::1:ff1f:fb6 ``` These three lines are of variable lengths. I want to extract only the last two field values if i split each line by delimiter : That is, from the three lines, i want: ``` 7d11, 1c7e ff1f, fb6 ff1f, fb6 ``` Can this be done using `split()`? I am not getting any ideas.
