my_list = ['element10238.94', 'element22.3904', 'element30139847']

How can I delete the and everything after to get this result:

['element1', 'element2', 'element3']

Answer 1

Something like:

>>> l = ['element10238.94', 'element22.3904', 'element30139847']
>>> [i.split('', 1)[0] for i in l]
['element1', 'element2', 'element3']
