how to separate certain parts of a string in python

Question

Lets say i have myVariable = ‘Hello world’ How can I get just “World”? Ive tried a bunch of ways. I am trying to make a chat bot at the moment, and I am making a settings command where you type :BotSettings in a input.

You can split on space and select element nr 1.

myVariable.split(' ')[1]

If I have myVariable = "Hello World", how do I make it "World"?

myVariable = "World"

If I have myVariable = "Hello World", how do I find the second word?

myVariable = myVariable.split()[1] # "World"

If I have myVariable = "apple Hello World banana", how do I find everything written after "Hello"?

_, _, myVariable = myVariable.partition("Hello ")
