RE: removing text string

You just want to drop the last two characters? Slice it.
>>s = "080829-7_A"[:-2]
print s
080829-7

Subject: removing text string

I need to remove text string from the list of the numbers mentioned
below:

080829-7_A
070529-5_c
080824-7_O
070405_6_p

The output will be : 080829-7
