[hellocode123]

I have this code:

object = {
    "date": "['2000-05-23']"
}

I just want to retrieve the inside string of 2000-05-23. But when I print(object["date"][0]) it prints the first character "[". How do I get it to just retrieve the date?

 

[simong1993]

try

object['date']

Python dicts work as a key value pair. As suggested by simong1993 will give you the value
Here are some examples of acessing dict keys and values

object = {
    'man': 'tom',
    'woman': 'jane',
    'child': 'pete'
}

print('# print a dict.')
print(object)

print()
print('# single object using known key')
print(object['man'])

print()
print('# print dict values')
for value in object.values():
    print(value)

print()
print('# print dict keys')
for key in object.keys():
    print(key)

print()
print('# print dict key and value')
for key, value in object.items():
    print(f'{key}: {value}')

print()
print('# print object values using key')
for key in object:
    print(object[key])

output

# print a dict.
{'man': 'tom', 'woman': 'jane', 'child': 'pete'}

# single object using known key
tom

# print dict values
tom
jane
pete

# print dict keys
man
woman
child

# print dict key and value
man: tom
woman: jane
child: pete

# print object values using key
tom
jane
pete
