Few examples to show you how to split a String into a List in Python.
1. Split by whitespace
By default, split() takes whitespace as the delimiter.
alphabet = "a b c d e f g"
data = alphabet.split() #split string into a list
for temp in data:
print temp
Output
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
2. Split + maxsplit
Split by first 2 whitespace only.
alphabet = "a b c d e f g"
data = alphabet.split(" ",2) #maxsplit
for temp in data:
print temp
Output
a
b
c d e f g
3. Split by #
Yet another example.
url = "mkyong.com#100#2015-10-1"
data = url.split("#")
print len(data) #3
print data[0] # mkyong.com
print data[1] # 100
print data[2] # 2015-10-1
for temp in data:
print temp
Output
3
mkyong.com
100
2015-10-1
mkyong.com
100
2015-10-1
str1 = ‘abcd.ef[2].gh[0][1].ijkl’
write a program to split this into an array [‘abcd’, ‘ef’, 2, ‘gh’, 0, 1,’ijkl’]
so this doesn’t work in phython 2 completely it’s missing ‘(‘ so here’s the fixed code
url = “mkyong.com#100#2015-10-1”
data = url.split(“#”)
print (len(data)) #3
print (data[0]) # mkyong.com
print (data[1]) # 100
print (data[2]) # 2015-10-1
for temp in data:
print (temp)
How can i split a string like……”mynameisjohn” into words and store in a list?
You can’t. How does Python know where words split? Python doesn’t understand the English Language. How would python know to split at “my name is john” and not “myna me isjo hn”? It hasn’t learned the word “My” or “Name” or “is” or “John”.
thanks, mkyong
good stuff
Please tell me how to do the following quiz using Python 2.7
The input is “1980-05-25,1999-12-30,2012-08-10”
output should be 05/25/1980
12/30/1999
08/10/2012
first split by , and then by – and alter the month date year in the sub list
really simple but useful ….THX
How would one split a line like ……. soap 13 and put into dictionary … grocery_dict = {‘soap:’13} etc or have multiple values for same key like…
…. soap water 13 these would be were in grocery store the items would be located. Soap in isle 13 or Soap and water in isle 13 I am trying to write a simple program to recall items I can’t remember when in store!
str = "key1=value1;key2=value2;key3=value3"d = dict(x.split("=") for x in str.split(";"))

how to extract the right side data from this file python program
Depending on your needs and data you can extract in several parts(because the data is messy):
(1) Separate extraction
(1.1) extract small words: re.findall(r”(?:\s|:)([A-Za-z\d]{1,4})(?:\s)”, text) – result – [‘2’, ‘8’, ‘OBU’, ‘HV’, ‘v2v’, ‘v2v’, ’80’, ‘1’, ‘OBU’, ‘RV’, ‘v2v’, ‘v2v’, ’80’, ‘1’]
(1.2) extract mac and IP – re.compile(r'(?:[0-9a-fA-F]:?){12}’) – result – [‘1c:65:9d:a7:f7:79’, ‘1c:65:9d:a7:f7:b2’]
(2) extract all at once – more complicated:
(2.1) find all ocurrences for \: – c = [(m.start(0), m.end(0)) for m in re.finditer(r”[:\s]+”, text)]
(2.2) list them:
for i, l in enumerate(c):
if i % 2 == 0:
print(text[l[1]:c[i+1][1]])
list.append(text[l[1]:c[i+1][1]])

Short answer:
* extract small words: re.findall(r”(?:\s|:)([A-Za-z\d]{1,4})(?:\s)”, text)
* extract mac and IP – re.compile(r'(?:[0-9a-fA-F]:?){12}’)

can you tell me how to split below line given input “1000,000,000.000.000”
the required output should be like this
1000
000
000
000
000
in this i am using both comma and dot. my string should separate at this two characters.
I would go for:
number = “1000,000,000.000.000”
print (re.findall(r”[d’]+”, number))
