I have the following string
'file path = data/imagery/256:0:10.0:34:26:-1478/256:0:10.0:34:26:-1478_B02_10m.tif'
I am trying to get 256:0:10.0:34:26:-1478_B02_10m.tif from the string above
but if I run
os.path.splitext(filepath.strip('data/imagery/256:0:10.0:34:26:-1478'))[0]
It outputs '_B02_10m'
Same with filepath.rstrip('data/imagery/256:0:10.0:34:26:-1478')
Assuming you want all the string data after the / you can always use string.split. This spits your string into a list of strings split on the split string. Then you would only need the final item of this list.
string_var.split("/")[:-1]
See more official python docs on string.split here.
Python's strip doesn't strip the string in the argument but uses it as a list of characters to remove from the original string see: https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str.strip
EDIT: This doesn't provide a meaningful solution, see accepted answer.
Instead of using strip you should use string.split()
Following piece of code gets you the required substring:
filepath = "data/imagery/256:0:10.0:34:26:-1478/256:0:10.0:34:26:-1478_B02_10m.tif"
print(filepath.split('/')[-1])
Output:
256:0:10.0:34:26:-1478_B02_10m.tif
