Python - Split String of list on K character

Python – Split String of list on K character

Last Updated : 06 Mar, 2020

Sometimes while working with data, we can have a problem in which we need to perform split operation on Strings, and sometimes, we might also require to perform them into nested strings overall. Lets discuss certain ways in which this task can be performed.

Method #1 : Using loop + split()
The combination of above functionalities can be used to perform this task. In this, we iterate through each list string and perform a manual split and then add the new elements to that list using extend() using loop.

# Python3 code to demonstrate 
# Split String of list on K character
# using loop + split()
  
# Initializing list 
test_list = ['Gfg is best', 'for Geeks', 'Preparing']
  
# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
  
K = ' '
  
# Split String of list on K character
# using loop + split()
res = []
for ele in test_list:
    sub = ele.split(K)
    res.extend(sub)
  
# printing result 
print ("The extended list after split strings : " + str(res))

Output :

The original list is : ['Gfg is best', 'for Geeks', 'Preparing']
The extended list after split strings : ['Gfg', 'is', 'best', 'for', 'Geeks', 'Preparing']

Method #2 : Using join() + split()
The combination of above functions can be used to perform this task. In this, we join split all the elements of list and then join each of them to make it split by K.

# Python3 code to demonstrate 
# Split String of list on K character
# using join() + split()
  
# Initializing list 
test_list = ['Gfg is best', 'for Geeks', 'Preparing']
  
# printing original list
print("The original list is : " + str(test_list))
  
K = ' '
  
# Split String of list on K character
# using join() + split()
res = K.join(test_list).split(K)
  
# printing result 
print ("The extended list after split strings : " + str(res))

Output :

The original list is : ['Gfg is best', 'for Geeks', 'Preparing']
The extended list after split strings : ['Gfg', 'is', 'best', 'for', 'Geeks', 'Preparing']
