Python - Deleting the first 2 lines of a string

Python - Deleting the first 2 lines of a string

To delete the first 2 lines of a string in Python, you can split the string into lines using the splitlines() method and then join the lines you want to keep after skipping the first 2 lines. Here's how you can do it:

input_string = """ Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4 """ lines = input_string.splitlines() output_string = '\n'.join(lines[2:]) print(output_string)

In this example, the splitlines() method is used to split the input string into a list of lines. Then, the '\n'.join() method is used to join the lines from index 2 (excluding the first 2 lines) to the end of the list, effectively removing the first 2 lines.

Keep in mind that the example uses triple quotes to define a multiline string (input_string). You can replace input_string with your actual input string.

Examples

    # Delete first 2 lines from string def delete_first_two_lines(input_string): return '\n'.join(input_string.split('\n')[2:]) # Example usage input_string = """First line Second line Third line Fourth line""" result = delete_first_two_lines(input_string) print(result) # Output: # Third line # Fourth line 
      # Remove first two lines of string def remove_first_two_lines(input_string): return '\n'.join(input_string.split('\n')[2:]) # Example usage input_string = """Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4""" result = remove_first_two_lines(input_string) print(result) # Output: # Line 3 # Line 4 
        # Delete top 2 lines from string def delete_top_two_lines(input_string): return '\n'.join(input_string.split('\n')[2:]) # Example usage input_string = """First line Second line Third line Fourth line""" result = delete_top_two_lines(input_string) print(result) # Output: # Third line # Fourth line 
          # Remove first 2 lines of text def remove_first_two_lines(text): return '\n'.join(text.split('\n')[2:]) # Example usage text = """Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4""" result = remove_first_two_lines(text) print(result) # Output: # Line 3 # Line 4 
            # Delete initial 2 lines from string def delete_initial_two_lines(input_string): return '\n'.join(input_string.split('\n')[2:]) # Example usage input_string = """First line Second line Third line Fourth line""" result = delete_initial_two_lines(input_string) print(result) # Output: # Third line # Fourth line 
              # Remove first two lines from string def remove_first_two_lines(input_string): return '\n'.join(input_string.split('\n')[2:]) # Example usage input_string = """Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4""" result = remove_first_two_lines(input_string) print(result) # Output: # Line 3 # Line 4 
                # Delete opening 2 lines of string def delete_opening_two_lines(input_string): return '\n'.join(input_string.split('\n')[2:]) # Example usage input_string = """First line Second line Third line Fourth line""" result = delete_opening_two_lines(input_string) print(result) # Output: # Third line # Fourth line 
                  # Remove 2 lines from the beginning of string def remove_lines_from_beginning(input_string, lines=2): return '\n'.join(input_string.split('\n')[lines:]) # Example usage input_string = """Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4""" result = remove_lines_from_beginning(input_string, lines=2) print(result) # Output: # Line 3 # Line 4 
                    # Delete first 2 lines from text def delete_first_two_lines(text): return '\n'.join(text.split('\n')[2:]) # Example usage text = """Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4""" result = delete_first_two_lines(text) print(result) # Output: # Line 3 # Line 4
