Finding words after keyword in python [duplicate]

by

Instead of using regexes you could just (for example) separate your string with str.partition(separator) like this:

mystring =  "hi my name is ryan, and i am new to python and would like to learn more"
keyword = 'name'
before_keyword, keyword, after_keyword = mystring.partition(keyword)
>>> before_keyword
'hi my '
>>> keyword
'name'
>>> after_keyword
' is ryan, and i am new to python and would like to learn more'

You have to deal with the needless whitespaces separately, though.
