Partition string in Python and get value of last segment after colon
python, string
Solution
result = mystring.rpartition(':')[2]
If you string does not have any `:`, the result will contain the original string.
An alternative that is supposed to be a little bit slower is:
result = mystring.split(':')[-1]
Problem
I need to get the value after the last colon in this example `1234567` ``` client:user:username:type:1234567 ``` I don't need anything else from the string just the last id value. To split on the first occurrence instead, see Splitting on first occurrence.
