Python | Split flatten String List
Sometimes, while working with Python Strings, we can have problem in which we need to perform the split of strings on a particular deliminitor. In this, we might need to flatten this to a single String List. Lets discuss certain ways in which this task can be performed.
Method #1 : Using list comprehension + split() + extend()
The combination of above functions can be used to perform this task. In this, we perform the task of split, using split() and add split elements in list using extend().
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Split flatten String List# Using list comprehension + split() + extend() # initializing listtest_list = ['gfg-is-best', 'for-all', 'geeks-and', 'CS'] # printing original listprint("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # Split flatten String List# Using list comprehension + split() + extend()res = [][res.extend(idx.split("-")) for idx in test_list] # printing result print("The String List after extension : " + str(res)) |
Output :
The original list is : ['gfg-is-best', 'for-all', 'geeks-and', 'CS'] The String List after extension : ['gfg', 'is', 'best', 'for', 'all', 'geeks', 'and', 'CS']
Method #2 : Using split() + join()
This is one of the way in which this task can be performed. In this, we perform the task of extension using join() and split().
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of # Split flatten String List# Using split() + join() # initializing listtest_list = ['gfg-is-best', 'for-all', 'geeks-and', 'CS'] # printing original listprint("The original list is : " + str(test_list)) # Split flatten String List# Using split() + join()res = '-'.join(test_list).split('-') # printing result print("The String List after extension : " + str(res)) |
Output :
The original list is : ['gfg-is-best', 'for-all', 'geeks-and', 'CS'] The String List after extension : ['gfg', 'is', 'best', 'for', 'all', 'geeks', 'and', 'CS']
