Hy have a string which corresponds to a file location in linux, i want to extract just the part of it that corresponds to the username and that always comes after the 6th forward slash and then store it in a new string variable:
str1 = "/usr/share/nginx/website/orders/jim/17jkyu.xlsx"
n = 0
user = ','
for ch in str1:
if ch == '/':
n += 1
if n == 6:
user.join(ch)
if n == 7:
break
print(user + '\n')
In this case i want to extract jim and put it into the string user.
So far is not working
>Solution :
Split the string then pull the index value.
str1 = "/usr/share/nginx/website/orders/jim/17jkyu.xlsx"
user = str1.split('/')[6]
