separate a string in python

spam = "A B C D"
eggs = "E-F-G-H"

# the split() function will return a list
spam_list = spam.split()
# if you give no arguments, it will separate by whitespaces by default
# ["A", "B", "C", "D"]

eggs_list = eggs.split("-", 3)
# you can specify the maximum amount of elements the split() function will output
# ["E", "F", "G"]

split string python

string = 'James Smith Bond'
x = string.split(' ') #Splits every ' ' (space) in the string to a list
# x = ['James','Smith','Bond']
print('The name is',x[-1],',',x[0],x[-1])

split string python

file='/home/folder/subfolder/my_file.txt'
file_name=file.split('/')[-1].split('.')[0]

How to Split Strings in python

s = 'KDnuggets is a fantastic resource'

print(s.split())

# Output

# ['KDnuggets', 'is', 'a', 'fantastic', 'resource']


# By default, split() splits on whitespace,
# but other character(s) sequences can be passed in as well.

s = 'these,words,are,separated,by,comma'
print('',' separated split -> {}'.format(s.split(',')))

s = 'abacbdebfgbhhgbabddba'
print(''b' separated split -> {}'.format(s.split('b')))


# ',' separated split -> ['these', 'words', 'are', 'separated', 'by', 'comma']
# 'b' separated split -> ['a', 'ac', 'de', 'fg', 'hhg', 'a', 'dd', 'a']

split function python

  s="ab.1e.1e3"
  w = s.split('.1')
  // w is ["ab","e","e3"]
  // use help(str.split) in your python IDE to know split in detail.

splitting strings in Python

cmd = input('Enter command:')
dictionary = cmd.split(' ')[1]
text = cmd.split(' ')[2:]

str.split() method in python

split:
# we use split method on a str
# to remove whitespaces at begining and end of str use s.strip() first
s="ab.1e.1e3"
w = s.split('.1')
// w is ["ab","e","e3"]
# IMP see below to see how split method actually splits wrt passed substring
print("ap1oo11rv1".split("1"))
// prints ['ap', 'oo', '', 'rv', '']
// use help(str.split) in your python IDE to know split in detail.
// if .split() is called then split is done wrt successive whitespaces. 
ex.1 print("     a   pp   p ".split()) 
//prints ['a', 'pp', 'p']
// .split(' ') is different
ex.2 print("     a   pp   p ".split()) 
//prints ['', '', '', '', '', 'a', '', '', 'pp', '', '', 'p', '']

join:
w=["as","3e","1"]
a='vf'.join(w)
// w neccessarily needs to be a list of strings.
print(a)
//displays string asvf3evf1
# CONCLUSIONS FROM ABOVE:
- both split and join undo the effect of each other 
- we can write directly in 1 line as well:
print("QR".join("ap1oo1rv1".split("1")))
// prints apQRooQRrvQR
