how separate string by separator? in python

To separate a string by a specified separator in Python, you can use the split() method on the string. This method returns a list of substrings that were separated by the specified separator.

Here's an example:

main.py
my_string = "hello,world"
separator = ","

result = my_string.split(separator)

print(result)
94 chars
7 lines

Output:

main.py
['hello', 'world']
19 chars
2 lines

In the example above, the string "hello,world" is split using the separator ",", resulting in a list ["hello", "world"].

You can also split a string multiple times by calling split() multiple times or by specifying the maxsplit parameter.

main.py
my_string = "one,two,three,four,five"
separator = ","
maxsplit = 2

result = my_string.split(separator, maxsplit)

print(result)
129 chars
8 lines

Output:

main.py
['one', 'two', 'three,four,five']
34 chars
2 lines

In the example above, the string "one,two,three,four,five" is split using the separator ",", only the first 2 occurrences, resulting in a list ["one", "two", "three,four,five"].
