split list elements python code example

Example 1: split list into list of lists python on every n element

big_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]
x = 4
list_of_lists = [big_list[i:i+x] for i in range(0, len(big_list), x)]
# [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10, 11, 12], [13, 14, 15, 16]]

Example 2: python split by list

def split(txt, seps):
    default_sep = seps[0]
    # we skip seps[0] because that's the default separator
    for sep in seps[1:]:
        txt = txt.replace(sep, default_sep)
    return [i.strip() for i in txt.split(default_sep)]


>>> split('ABC ; DEF123,GHI_JKL ; MN OP', (',', ';'))
['ABC', 'DEF123', 'GHI_JKL', 'MN OP']

Example 3: python split list

string = 'this is a python string'
wordList = string.split(' ')

Example 4: python split list

string = "this is a string" 		# Creates the string
splited_string = string.split(" ")	# Splits the string by spaces
print(splited_string) 				# Prints the list to the console
# Output: ['this', 'is', 'a', 'string']
