How to remove first and last using python value=A 0006 005C 0078 0030 0034 0046 0030 00

Presuming that this is a string and you are splitting by white space. — jamylak, Jul 13 '12 at 05:45

You can use a list slice:

>>> a = ["one", "two", "three", "four"]
>>> a[1:-1]
['two', 'three']

See Good Primer for Python Slice Notation for more details about how this notation works.

from your description it is a bit unclear what "first and last" are in your example. if you mean the first and last "word", eg 'A' and '00' you yould use:

" ".join("A 0006 005C 0078 0030 0034 0046 0030 00".split()[1:-1])

this returns

'0006 005C 0078 0030 0034 0046 0030'

value='A 0006 005C 0078 0030 0034 0046 0030 00'

value[1:-2-1]

You will get the result as

' 0006 005C 0078 0030 0034 0046 0030'
