What is split used for?

This method separate a string into a list. You can specify the separator, when this isn’t defined, whitespace(” “) is used.

Example - Separator not defined:

Text = "Today is very nice day"
txt = Text.split()
print(txt)

# Output:
['Today', 'is', 'very', 'nice', 'day']

Example - Split the string, using comma:

Text = "Today, is very nice, day"
txt = Text.split(",")
print(txt)

# Output:
['Today', ' is very nice', ' day']

Example - Use a hash character as a separator:

Text = "Today#is#very#nice#day"
txt = Text.split("#")
print(txt)

# output:
['Today', 'is', 'very', 'nice', 'day']

Example - Split the string into a list with max 2 items:

Text = "Today#is#very#nice#day"
txt = Text.split("#", 2)
print(txt)

# Output:
['Today', 'is', 'very#nice#day']
