split string to list code example

Example 1: python split by list

def split(txt, seps):
    default_sep = seps[0]
    # we skip seps[0] because that's the default separator

        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']
