I've a string like:
10-24-2017 10:09:18.218 - my_test - INFO - My Automation version 0.0.1
And I wish to split the string by the token " - " (Note the leading and lagging white-spaces). IOW, the above string should be split as:
{'10-24-2017 10:09:18.218', 'my_test', 'INFO', 'My Automation version 0.0.1'}
If I just split by '-', then the date string will also be split which I don't wish to do. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
You can use re.split instead:
In [3]: re.split(' - ', '123-456 - foo - bar')
Out[3]: ['123-456', 'foo', 'bar']
Or just split by the whole string:
In [5]: '123-456 - foo - bar'.split(' - ')
Out[5]: ['123-456', 'foo', 'bar']
'10-24-2017 10:09:18.218 - my_test - INFO - My Automation version 0.0.1'.split(' - ')
You can try this:
import re
s = "10-24-2017 10:09:18.218 - my_test - INFO - My Automation version 0.0.1"
final_string = re.split("\s-\s", s)
Output:
['10-24-2017 10:09:18.218', 'my_test', 'INFO', 'My Automation version 0.0.1']
You can just use normal split function.
test_str = "10-24-2017 10:09:18.218 - my_test - INFO - My Automation version 0.0.1"
print(test_str.split(' - '))
Output:
['10-24-2017 10:09:18.218', 'my_test', 'INFO', 'My Automation version 0.0.1']
