Don't use string.replace(), use the replace method of strings:
>>> '120.exe'.replace('.exe', '')
'120'

Another approach since you seem to be working with filenames is using
the os.path module:
>>> import os.path as path
>>> s = "test.torrent"
>>> t = "test.exe"
>>> u = "test"
>>> path.splitext(s)[0]
'test'

hi,
what about this
>>> 'exe.torrent'.split('.')[0]

It really shouldn't be.

Wow... took someone else to point this out to me.. Kinda feel like an idiot
for responding :)
rstrip doesn't take a string... it removes all the chars that you list
individually...
that's why the e was removed... there's an e in .torrent but it hit the x
which it didn't match on, so it stopped...
Interesting... I tried this on three machines Windows/Python 2.4.3,
FC4/Python 2.4.3, Ubuntu/Python 2.5.1 and I saw the same thing for each...
It's apparently not a three character issue but rather related to specific
characters (e, n, o, r, t). A further test revealed that this affects one

Hi :
Please look at this code:
>>> 'exe.torrent'.rstrip('.torrent')
'ex'<- it should be 'exe', why?
but this is a right answer:
>>> '120.exe'.rstrip('.exe')
'120' <-- this is a right value.

11 matches
