Python | Remove the given substring from end of string

Sometimes we need to manipulate our string to remove extra information from string for better understanding and faster processing. Given a task in which substring needs to be removed from the end of the string. Given below are a few methods to solve the given task.

Method #1: Using Naive Method

# Python3 code to demonstrate 
# to remove a substring from end of the string 
  
# Initialising string 
ini_string = 'xbzefdgstb'
  
# initializing string 
sstring = 'stb'
  
# printing initial string and substring 
print ("initial_strings : ", ini_string, "\nsubstring : ", sstring) 
  
# removing substring from end 
# of string using Naive Method 
if ini_string.endswith(sstring): 
    res = ini_string[:-(len(sstring))] 
  
# printing result 
print ("resultant string", res) 

Output:

initial_strings :  xbzefdgstb 
substring :  stb
resultant string xbzefdg

Method #2: Using sub() method

# Python3 code to demonstrate 
# to remove a substring from end of string 
  
import re 
  
# Initialising string 
ini_string = 'xbzefdgstb'
  
# initializing string 
sstring = 'stb'
  
# printing initial string and substring 
print ("initial_strings : ", ini_string, "\nsubstring : ", sstring) 
  
# removing substring from end 
# of string using sub Method 
if ini_string.endswith(sstring): 
    res = re.sub(sstring, '', ini_string) 
  
# printing result 
print ("resultant string", res) 

Output:

initial_strings :  xbzefdgstb 
substring :  stb
resultant string xbzefdg

Method #3: Using replace() method

# Python3 code to demonstrate 
# to remove a substring from end of string 
  
# Initialising string 
ini_string = 'xbzefdgstb'
  
# initializing string 
sstring = 'stb'
  
# printing initial string and substring 
print ("initial_strings : ", ini_string, "\nsubstring : ", sstring) 
  
# removing substring from end 
# of string using replace Method 
if ini_string.endswith(sstring): 
    res = ini_string.replace(sstring, '') 
  
# printing result 
print ("resultant string", res) 

Output:

initial_strings :  xbzefdgstb 
substring :  stb
resultant string xbzefdg
