For obvious reasons, these should be s/\<n\>/to_throw_away/g
To throw away the trailing N delimited portions:
> new_string = text.rsplit(',', n)[0]
new_string = text.rsplit(',', to_throw_away)[0]
and to remove the leading N fields
> new_string = text.split(',', n)[-1]
new_string = text.split(',', to_throw_away)[-1]
