Splitting Strings within an Array

Question

I am writing a program in python that reads in a text file and executes any python commands within it. The commands may be out of order, but each command has a letter ID such as {% (c) print x %}

I've been able to sort all the commands with in the document into an array, in the correct order. My question is, how to i remove the (c), so i can run exec(statement) on the string?

Here is the full example array

[' (a) import random ', ' (b) x = random.randint(1,6) ', ' (c) print x ', ' (d) print 2*x ']

Also, I am very new to python, my first assignment with it.

You can remove the index part, by using substring:

for cmd in arr:
   exec(cmd[5:])
