Hi,
Say I have a very big string with a pattern like:
akakksssk3dhdhdhdbddb3dkdkdkddk3dmdmdmd3dkdkdkdk3asnsn.....
I want to split the sting into separate parts on the "3" and process
each part separately. I might run into memory limitations if I use
"split" and get a big array(?) I wondered if there's a way I could
read (stream?) the string from start to finish and read what's
delimited by the "3" into a variable, process the smaller string
variable then append/build a new string with the processed data?
Would I loop it and read it char by char till a "3"...? Or?
You could write a generator like this:
def split(string, sep):
pos = 0
try:
while True:
next_pos = string.index(sep, pos)
yield string[pos : next_pos]
pos = next_pos + 1
except ValueError:
yield string[pos : ]
string = "akakksssk3dhdhdhdbddb3dkdkdkddk3dmdmdmd3dkdkdkdk3asnsn..."
for part in split(string, "3"):
print(part)
