The dictionary is irrelevant to your question. It doesn't matter whether the path came from a dict, a list, read directly from stdin, an environment variable, extracted from a CSV file, or plucked directly from outer space by the programmer. The process remains the same regardless of where the path came from. import os path = '/usr/local/ABCD/EDF/ASASAS/GTH/HELLO/MELLO/test04_Failures.log' filename = os.path.basename(path) print filename # prints 'test04_Failures.log' testcase, remaining_junk = filename.split('_', 1) print testcase # prints 'test04' -- Steven D'Aprano "Ever since I learned about confirmation bias, I've been seeing it everywhere." -- Jon Ronson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
