I want some code to take the items in a semi-colon-delimted string
"list" and places each in a python list. I came up with below. In
the name of learning how to do things properly, do you experts have a
better way of doing it?
Thanks for any inputs!
***
x = "red;blue;green;yellow" ## string of semi-colon delimited colors
color_list = []
## sc = semi-colon
while x.find(";")<> -1:
sc_pos = x.find(";")
current_color = x[0:sc_pos] ## color w/o sc
current_color_sc = x[0:sc_pos+1] ## color with sc
color_list.append(current_color) ## append color to list
x = x.replace(current_color_sc, "") ## remove color and sc from
string
print current_color
print color_list
print x + "\n"
color_list.append(x) # append last color left in x (no sc at end of
string)
print color_list
print "done"
>>> x = "red;blue;green;yellow"
>>> x.split(";")
['red', 'blue', 'green', 'yellow']
