split() python code example

Example 1: how to split a string by character in python

def split(word): 
    return [char for char in word]  
      
# Driver code 
word = 'geeks'
print(split(word)) 

#Output ['g', 'e', 'e', 'k', 's']

Example 2: separate a string in python

string = "A B C D"
string2 = "E-F-G-H"

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

stringlist2 = string2.split("-", 3)
# you can specify the maximum amount of elements the split() function will output
# ["E", "F", "G"]

Example 3: 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])

Example 4: python split

>>> '1,2,3'.split(',')
['1', '2', '3']
>>> '1,2,3'.split(',', maxsplit=1)
['1', '2,3']
>>> '1,2,,3,'.split(',')
['1', '2', '', '3', '']

Example 5: split()

const str = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.';
console.log(str.split(''));
console.log(str.split(' '));
console.log(str.split('ox'));
> Array ["T", "h", "e", " ", "q", "u", "i", "c", "k", " ", "b", "r", "o", "w", "n", " ", "f", "o", "x", " ", "j", "u", "m", "p", "s", " ", "o", "v", "e", "r", " ", "t", "h", "e", " ", "l", "a", "z", "y", " ", "d", "o", "g", "."] 
> Array ["The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog."] 
> Array ["The quick brown f", " jumps over the lazy dog."]


const str = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.';

const words = str.split(' ');
console.log(words[3]);
// expected output: "fox"

const chars = str.split('');
console.log(chars[8]);
// expected output: "k"

const strCopy = str.split();

Example 6: split string python

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