Suppose i have this string:
z = 'AT/CG'
How do i get this list:
zlist = ['A','T/C','G']
There are lots of ways and it really needs a tighter specification of
yhow you split.
What would "AT/C/DGH" give for example?
But in general there are several approaches, I suspect regex is the
best
solution here but for simple solutions splitting by the / then
splitting the
sublists then joining the last to the first element of each sublist
using / might
work too. But regex is probably faster, although more complex.
And you could use a parser if the rules are very complex.
