Truncating a string

[Winstonb]

Does anyone know how to do this in python ?

var = testing(123)(234)

I want to print out only "testing" by truncating var.

I would imagine that this could possibly be done by splitting "testing(123)(234)" into multiple fields using ( as the delimitter, and then printing out only the first field. Just don't know how in Python.

Thanks in advance
Winston

var = 'testing(123)(234)'
var.split('(')[0]

Thanks a lot KMarris

That worked a treat.
