Hello folks : i have a string "-bin-ulockmgr_server:0.99[&&NHX:C=0.195.0]" from which i want to delete [&&NHX:C=0.195.0] . I wrote a regular expression for [&&NHX:C=0.195.0] as \[&&(\w)+:\w=((-)?(\d|\d\d|\d\d\d)\.)+\d\]
now when i do p = re.compile('\[&&(\w)+:\w=((-)?(\d|\d\d|\d\d\d)\.)+\d\]') m =p.search("-bin-ulockmgr_server:0.99[&&NHX:C=0.195.0]") print m <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x01314EE8> >>> print m.group() [&&NHX:C=0.195.0] So i guess i am able to find the substring , my question is how can i delete this substring from the original string? ie -bin-ulockmgr_server:0.99 should be my output. thanks Aditya
