Python | Removing a leading word from a string

Method # 1: Using split()
This task can be accomplished using the split function which splits words and separates the first word of a line with whole words.

# Python3 code to demonstrate how it works
# Remove the initial words from string
# Using split ()

 
# initializing string

test_str = "Python.Engineering is best"

 
# print original string

print ( "The original string is: " + test_str)

  
# Using split ()
# Remove leading word from string

res = test_str.split ( `` , 1 ) [ 1 ]

 
# print result

print ( "The string after omitting first word is:" + str (res))

Output: 

 The original string is: Python.Engineering i s best The string after omitting first word is: is best

Method # 2: Using partition()
Function separation is used to accomplish this specific task in a comparatively smaller internal task compared to the function used in the above method.

# Python3 demo code
# Remove leading word from line
# Using the () section

 
# initialization string

test_str = "Python.Engineering is best"

 
# print original line

print ( " The original string is: " + test_str)

 
# Using the () section
# Remove the leading word from the string

res = test_str.partition ( `` ) [ 2 ]

 
# print result

print ( "The string after omitting first word is:" + str (res))

Exit : 

 The original string is: Python.Engineering is best The string after omitting first word is: is best
