Strip last period from a host string
10,184
You do it like this:
hostname.rstrip('.')
where hostname is the string containing the domain name.
>>> 'domain.com'.rstrip('.')
'domain.com'
>>> 'domain.com.'.rstrip('.')
'domain.com'

I am having a hard time figuring out how to strip the last period from a hostname ...
current output:
- domain.com.
- suddomain.com.
- domain.com.
- subdomain.subdomain.com.
- subdomain.com.
desired output:
- domain.com
- subdomain.com
- domain.com
- subdomain.subdomain.com
attempt 1:
print string[:-1] #it works on some lines but not all
attempt 2:
str = string.split('.') subd = '.'.join(str[0:-1]) print subd # does not work at all
code:
global DOMAINS if len(DOMAINS) >= 1: for domain in DOMAINS: cmd = "dig @adonis.dc1.domain.com axfr %s |grep NS |awk '{print $1}'|sort -u |grep -v '^%s.$'" % (domain,domain) p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, shell=True) string = p.stdout.read() string = string.strip().replace(' ','') if string: print string

Oscar Mederos about 11 years@isedev gave you the answer you were looking for (in fact, the simplest one). that should be the accepted answer.
