In this article, we would like to show you how to get a substring of the string in Python.

Quick solution:

text = "dirask is cool"
substring = text[0:7]   # start from index 0 up to 7
print(substring)        # dirask

 

Practical example

In this example, we use slicing to get a substring from the text.

text = "dirask is cool"

substring1 = text[0:7]      # dirask    (start from index 0 to 7)
substring2 = text[:7]       # dirask    (from index 0 by default to index 7)
substring3 = text[-14:-7]   # dirask    (counting from the end of the string)

substring4 = text[7:9]      # is        (positive indexing)
substring5 = text[-7:-4]    # is        (negative indexing)

substring6 = text[10:14]    # cool
substring7 = text[10:]      # cool      (from index 10 to the end of the string)
substring8 = text[-4:]      # cool      (from index -4 to the end of the string)
substring9 = text[-4:14]    # cool


print(substring1)  # dirask
print(substring2)  # dirask
print(substring3)  # dirask

print(substring4)  # is
print(substring5)  # is

print(substring6)  # cool
print(substring7)  # cool
print(substring8)  # cool
print(substring9)  # cool

Output:

dirask 
dirask 
dirask 
is
is 
cool
cool
cool
cool
