A regular expression to do what you want: >>> s = 'setAttr ".ftn" -type "string" >>> /assets/chars/boya/geo/textures/lod1/ppbhat.tga";' >>> s = re.sub(r".*/(.*\.tga).*", r"\1", s) >>> s 'ppbhat.tga' Is a regular expression the best solution? That depends on what else you need to do with your data file. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
