Hi to all, I'd like to split a long string into equally long strings (len(str) = 3). I did the following using regexes:
>>> n = 'xb1jyzqnd1eenkokqnhep6vp692qi9tmag3owzqw0sdq3zjf' >>> o = re.split(r'(...)', n) >>> print o ['', 'xb1', '', 'jyz', '', 'qnd', '', '1ee', '', 'nko', '', 'kqn', '', 'hep', '', '6vp', '', '692', '', 'qi9', '', 'tma', '', 'g3o', '', 'wzq', '', 'w0s', '', 'dq3', '', 'zjf', ''] Which gives me empty strings between each value. So to actually have this working I ended up filtering through a list comprehension: >>> o = [ x for x in re.split(r'(...)', n) if x ] >>> print o ['xb1', 'jyz', 'qnd', '1ee', 'nko', 'kqn', 'hep', '6vp', '692', 'qi9', 'tma', 'g3o', 'wzq', 'w0s', 'dq3', 'zjf'] This is what I needed. Is there an easier or more straightforward way to do this? Thanks.
