Remove the first few(or any amount really) of letters in a string

2008-08-08 Thread Alexnb

Lets say I've got a stirng:

blah This is my string blah

I want to get rid of the blah's but keep the This is my string. I know you
can do this with a for loop, but that is messy and a pain. So does anyone
have any suggestions on how to do this?

Strings are immutable.  Just slice out what you want.

 blah This is what I want. blah blah[5:25]
'This is what I want.'
