In this article, we would like to show you how to replace part of string from given index in Python.

Quick solution:

text = "ABCD"
replacement = "xy"

position = 1
number_of_characters = 2

result = text[:position] + replacement + text[position + number_of_characters:]

print(result)  # AxyD

 

1. Practical example using string slicing with string concatenation

In this example, we use string slicing with string concatenation to replace CD letters (index 1-3) from the text with the replacement.

text = "ABCD"
replacement = "xy"

position = 1
number_of_characters = 2

result = text[:position] + replacement + text[position + number_of_characters:]

print(result)  # AxyD

Output:

AxyD

Explanation:

piece of codeequivalent toletter
text[:position]text[0:1]A
text[position + number_of_characters:]text[3:text.length] or text[3:4]D

2. Practical example using string slicing with join() method

In this example, we use string slicing with join() method to replace CD letters (index 1-3) from the text with the replacement.

text = "ABCD"
replacement = "xy"

position = 1
number_of_characters = 2

result = "".join((text[:position], replacement, text[position + number_of_characters:]))

print(result)  # AxyD

Output:

AxyD
