In this article, we would like to show you how to replace last n characters in string in Python.
Quick solution:

n = 2 # number of characters to replace5
replacement = "XY" # replace with this6
7

In this example, we use replace() method to replace last 2 characters in text string.
xxxxxxxxxx1
text = "ABC"2
3
print("String before:", text)4
5
size = len(text) # text length6
n = 2 # number of characters to replace7
replacement = "XY" # replace with this8
9
text = text.replace(text[size - n:], replacement)10
11
print("String after: ", text) # AXYOutput:
xxxxxxxxxx1
String before: ABC2
String after: AXYNote:
Number of characters to replace (
n) and number of characters inreplacementdon't have to be the same.
