Answers for "python split string into list by delimiter"

separate a string in python

foo = "A B C D"
bar = "E-F-G-H"

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

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

list split to string

# instead of regular split
>> s = "a,b,c,d"
>> s.split(",")
>> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

# ..split only on last occurrence of ',' in string:
>>> s.mysplit(s, -1)
>>> ['a,b,c', 'd']
