Python: Replace a string starting from a charecter

Question

I need an optimised way to replace all trailing characters starting from a '/' in a string.

For example:

mytext = "this is my/string"

i want a result like this

mytext = "this is my/text"

only the string after '/' must be replaced and must be done in optimised way. can anyone find a solution for me?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you mean by optimized but i'd do:

>>> import re
>>> mytext = "this is my/string"
>>> re.sub('/.*','/text',mytext)
'this is my/text'
