remove the last word in a string

DanielErklauer

How does one remove the last word in a string if the field I am querying has variable character lengths? I.e:

1234 S Man 77025
123 Main 00865

I want to remove the zip code here but the character counts vary.

This should do what you want. Where var is your string.

var.split(" ")[:-1]

If the portion of the string you are trying to remove is always the same length, you could also use the simpler.

var[:-6]

Thank you Bruce. Exactly what I needed.

" ".join(var.split()[:-1])

Will return the original string, minus the last word.
