Wilcard matching substring in Python -

i new python , don't know how sub-string matches wildcard status string. trying timestamp next string:

sdc4-251504-7f5-f59c349f0e516894fc89d2686a0d57f5-1360922654.97671.data

i want "1360922654.97671" part out of string. please help.

if dots , dashes have specific function within string, can utilize this:

>>> s = "sdc4-251504-7f5-f59c349f0e516894fc89d2686a0d57f5-1360922654.97671.data" >>> s.rsplit('.', 1)[0].split('-')[-1] '1360922654.97671'

step step:

>>> s.rsplit('.', 1) ['sdc4-251504-7f5-f59c349f0e516894fc89d2686a0d57f5-1360922654.97671', 'data'] >>> s.rsplit('.', 1)[0] 'sdc4-251504-7f5-f59c349f0e516894fc89d2686a0d57f5-1360922654.97671' >>> s.rsplit('.', 1)[0].split('-') ['sdc4', '251504', '7f5', 'f59c349f0e516894fc89d2686a0d57f5', '1360922654.97671'] >>> s.rsplit('.', 1)[0].split('-')[-1] '1360922654.97671'
