How do I split this string into a list of entities:
String=('Sues Badge', '£1.70', '3', '13')
I know that this string may look like a list already, but the program see it as a string. I have tried String.split(",","") however this did not work.
Desired Output
List= [Sues Badge,£1.70,3,13]
First of all, this is neither a string nor a list, but a tuple, as indicated by the round brackets. split is a method of the str class, so it can't be used here. To convert a tuple t into a list, simply do
list_1 = list(t)
[Sues Badge,£1.70,3,13].
As per my understanding the OP just want to see output as [Sues Badge,£1.70,3,13]. If i'm right, then the below code will help.
Try this:
string = ('Sues Badge', '£1.70', '3', '13') # a tuple
str1 = ",".join(string) # converting tuple into a string
str1 = '[' + str1 + ']' # adds opening and closing square brackets to match your desired output.
print(str1)
Output:
[Sues Badge,£1.70,3,13]
If you were looking for an answer like this one. I have an alternative way. Check this:
string = ('Sues Badge', '£1.70', '3', '13') # a tuple
str1 = ",".join(string).split(',') # converting tuple into a string
print(str1)
Output:
['Sues Badge', '£1.70', '3', '13']
Stringis a tuple, so doesn't have asplitfunction - trylist(String)
