How to remove the left part of a string?

python, string

Solution

Starting in `Python 3.9`, you can use `removeprefix`:

'Path=helloworld'.removeprefix('Path=')
# 'helloworld'

Problem

I have some simple python code that searches files for a string e.g. `path=c:\path`, where the `c:\path` part may vary. The current code is: ``` def find_path(i_file): lines = open(i_file).readlines() for line in lines: if line.startswith("Path="): return # what to do here in order to get line content after "Path=" ? ``` What is a simple way to get the text after `Path=`?
