Removing part of string

[saif.shakeel]

Hi,
I am parsing an xml file ,and one part of structure looks
something like this:

- <COMPARAM id="_338" DDORef="_18" Semantics="timing"
PhysicalLink="Infotainment_Control_Bus_CAN">
<SHORTNAME>Infotainment_Control_Bus_CAN_TIMEOUT_AX</SHORTNAME>
<LONGNAME>Timeout N_As/N_Ar</LONGNAME>
<DESCRIPTION>Time from transmit request until a CAN frame transmit
confirmation is received.</DESCRIPTION>
</COMPARAM>

In my code i am extracting the data within
<LONGNAME>,which is Timeout N_As/N_Ar.These tags repeat and will have
different timer names..like

- <COMPARAM id="_339" DDORef="_18" Semantics="timing"
PhysicalLink="Infotainment_Control_Bus_CAN">
<SHORTNAME>Infotainment_Control_Bus_CAN_TIMEOUT_BS</SHORTNAME>
<LONGNAME>Timeout N_Bs</LONGNAME>
<DESCRIPTION>Time that the transmitter of a multi-frame message
shall wait to receive a flow control (FC) frame before timing out with
a network layer error.</DESCRIPTION>
</COMPARAM>

I need to remove the words Timeout from the data,and
take only the abbrevation..i.e.N_As/N_bs like that .In short i have to
remove the words which come with name Time,and also the space which
comes next to it.
and take only the abbreviation.Can someone help me in this.
Thanks

Assuming you're naming the string 'logname' and the only space is
between the Time* word and the tags, this should work: logname.split()
[-1]

You can test for the prefix with the `startswith()` method and use string
slicing to create a new string without the prefix:

In [3]: prefix = 'Timeout '

In [4]: longname = 'Timeout N_Bs'

In [5]: longname.startswith(prefix)
Out[5]: True

In [6]: longname = longname[len(prefix):]

In [7]: longname
Out[7]: 'N_Bs'
