Splitting a String in Python:-

Strings in Python have a method named split that returns a list of the words in the string. Program (given below) shows an example.

(string-split.py)

# This program demonstrates the split method.

def main():

# Create a string with multiple words.

my-string = 'One two three four'

# Split the string.

word-list = my-string.split()

# Print the list of words.

print word-list

# Call the main function.

main()

Output

['One', 'two', 'three', 'four']

By default, the split method uses spaces as separators (that is, it returns a list of the words in the string that are separated by spaces). You can specify a different separator by passing it as an argument to the split method.
