I have some simple python code that searches files for a string e.g. path=c:path, where the c:path part may vary. The current code is:

def find_path(i_file):
    lines = open(i_file).readlines()
    for line in lines:
        if line.startswith("Path="):
            return # what to do here in order to get line content after "Path=" ?

What is a simple way to get the text after Path=?

Answer

Starting in Python 3.9, you can use removeprefix:

'Path=helloworld'.removeprefix('Path=')
# 'helloworld'
