How to get a string after a specific substring with Python?

To get a string after a specific substring with Python, we can use the split method.

For instance, we write

my_string = "hello world , i'm a beginner "
s = my_string.split("world", 1)[1] 

to call my_string/split with the string that we want to split by and the number that limits the number of splits.

As a result, we call split to split the string once with 'world' as the separator.

And we use [1] to get the 2nd entry from the returned string list.
