Python - remove first character from string if condition
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to conditionally remove the first character from the string in Python.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
text = "ABC"2
3
if text[0] == "A":4
text = text[1:]5
6
print("after: ", text) # after: BC
In this example, we check if the first character in a string is C and remove it if true.
xxxxxxxxxx1
text = "ABC"2
3
print("String before:", text)4
5
# remove first character from a string if condition6
if text[0] == "A":7
text = text[1:]8
9
print("String after: ", text)Output:
xxxxxxxxxx1
String before: ABC2
String after: BC
