From a string with repeated under scores (e.g. 1_2_3_4_5_6), split and select 3_4

The header of my data frame looks like this

header = list(data_no_control.columns.values)
header

['MLID_D_08_NGS_34_H08.fsa',
 'MLID_D_25_NGS_38_A11.fsa',
 'MLID_D_36_NGS_41_D12.fsa',
 'MLID_D_37_NGS_42_E12.fsa']

I want to change my header to look like this

['NGS_34',
 'NGS_38',
 'NGS_41',
 'NGS_42']

How can I do this?

>Solution :

header = ['MLID_D_08_NGS_34_H08.fsa',
 'MLID_D_25_NGS_38_A11.fsa',
 'MLID_D_36_NGS_41_D12.fsa',
 'MLID_D_37_NGS_42_E12.fsa']

new_header = []

for item in header:
    item = item.split('_')
    new_header.append(item[3] + '_' + item[4])

# output: ['NGS_34', 'NGS_38', 'NGS_41', 'NGS_42']
print(new_header)
