Hello all,
I want to get the _last_ occurence of some string in some other string. What
I want exactly, is having the current directory (for example,
/home/gerrit/linuxgames/links/)
and than put everything after the last "/linuxgames" in a string. But when
someone is in the directory "/home/gerrit/linuxgames/cvs/linuxgames", my current
regexp is getting /cvs/linuxgames, and that's not what I want. Now, I have:
currentdir = os.getcwd()
mo = re.search('/linuxgames', currentdir)
eind = mo.end()
subdir = currentdir[eind:] + '/'
But that doesn't solve my problem.
kind regards,
Gerrit.
