You can also try this

>>> a = '>> a
'>> a.partition('<')
('', '<', 'NAME')
>>> splitstring = a.partition('<')
>>> splitstring
('', '<', 'NAME')
>>> splitstring[0]
''
>>> splitstring[1]
'<'
>>> splitstring[2]
'NAME'

I guess you can use this tuple.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,

['>NAME\n'],
is there a way to split it into two separate lines:




NAME


Yes if you know where the linebreak will be.

s = ">NAME\n"
twolines = [s[0],s[1:]]   # list of two strings

for line in twolines; print line

or if you really just want a newline inserted:

twolines = s[0] + '\n' + s[1:]  insert newline

or use replace:

twolines = s.replace( '>' , '>\n' )

If you want more sophistication you could
use  a regex to determine the split point.

[Tutor] STRING PROC

[Spyros Charonis]

Hello List,

A quick string processing query. If I have an entry in a list such as
['>NAME\n'],
is there a way to split it into two separate lines:

NAME
