Python | Get the string after occurrence of given substring

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 29 May, 2019

Sometimes, more than finding a substring, we might need to get the string which is occurring after the substring has been found. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this task can be performed.

Method #1 : Using partition()
The partition function can be used to perform this task in which we just return the part of partition occurring after the partition word.

# Python3 code to demonstrate 
# Get String after substring occurrence 
# using partition() 
  
# initializing string  
test_string = "GeeksforGeeks is best for geeks"
  
# initializing split word 
spl_word = 'best'
  
# printing original string  
print("The original string : " + str(test_string)) 
  
# printing split string  
print("The split string : " + str(spl_word)) 
  
# using partition() 
# Get String after substring occurrence 
res = test_string.partition(spl_word)[2] 
  
# print result 
print("String after the substring occurrence : " + res) 

Output :

The original string : GeeksforGeeks is best for geeks
The split string : best
String after the substring occurrence :  for geeks

Method #2 : Using split()
The split function can also be applied to perform this particular task, in this function, we use the power of limiting the split and then print the later string.

# Python3 code to demonstrate 
# Get String after substring occurrence 
# using split() 
  
# initializing string  
test_string = "GeeksforGeeks is best for geeks"
  
# initializing split word 
spl_word = 'best'
  
# printing original string  
print("The original string : " + str(test_string)) 
  
# printing split string  
print("The split string : " + str(spl_word)) 
  
# using split() 
# Get String after substring occurrence 
res = test_string.partition(spl_word)[2] 
  
# print result 
print("String after the substring occurrence : " + res) 

Output :

The original string : GeeksforGeeks is best for geeks
The split string : best
String after the substring occurrence :  for geeks
