find '//' first to get the start offset of bucket, then find the first '/' to get the end offset of bucket, which is also the start offset of the rest — Gang YIN, Sep 21 '20 at 08:24

If you already have a constant bucket name, why not split with that name and use that to split and then slice the string with :

Path.split(bucket)[1][1:]

OR

If you dont have a constant bucket string, use:

a=Path.split("/")
bucket,path=a[2],"/".join(a[3:])

This will give you a list, but you can join them using join
