This is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

str.rpartition() seems like a great way of extracting the file "prefix" and file extension from a filename, especially when you consider that you can have dots anywhere in a filename (e.g. "1.2_lecture_notes.txt"). This is something I probably would have resorted to regex for, so thanks for the great video!

(I've realised that if you have a *.tar.gz file, the output of str.rpartition(".") may not be what you expect, though it would technically be correct: ("filename.tar", ".", "gz"))

split letters in a word without spaces to a new column?
