I have a problem. I am trying to remove a specific word from a string like this:
sentence = "My father always told me to find a girl, so I can be a father in the future"
sentence = sentence.replace("father", '')
But I only want to remove the word father in the first part of the sentence. I can't find something like that on a python explanation of the replace function.
Is this possible and what do I need to use then?
Just gotta add a number in replace to tell it how many times to replace.
sentence = sentence.replace("father", '', 1)
The docs states:
Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring old replaced by new. If the optional argument count is given, only the first count occurrences are replaced.
So pass a 3rd argument, like so:
sentence = "My father always told me to find a girl, so I can be a father in the future"
sentence = sentence.replace("father", '', 1)
print(sentence)
My always told me to find a girl, so I can be a father in the future
