Python string split and do not use middle part -


i reading file in python script looks this:

#im useless comment important 

i wrote script read , split "this important" part , ignore comment lines start #.

i need first , last word (in case "this" , "important").

is there way tell python don't need parts of split?

in example have want , works.

however if string longer , have 10 unused variables, gues not programmers it.

here code:

#!/usr/bin/python3  import re  filehandle = open("file") line in file:      if re.search("#",line):         break;     else:         a,b,c = line.split(" ")         print(a)         print(b)  filehandle.close() 

another possibility be:

a, *_, b = line.split() print(a, b) # <a> <b> 

if recall correctly, *_ not backwards compatible, meaning require python 3.5/6 or above (would have changelogs here).
