split string and keep separator - wardancer84 - Nov-21-2018
often discussed on the interwebs, but no i idiot-proof solution available.
i want to split the following list of strings by the "=" and keep the left part incl. the "=", and the re module should NOT be used for this.
>>> print(options) ['SYSTEM=LDAP', 'registry=LDAP']output should look like this -> ['SYSTEM=', 'registry=']
best would be to integrate this in this generator
def arguments_generator(options):
for element in options:
yield '-a'
yield element
RE: split string and keep seperator - Gribouillis - Nov-21-2018
You can use
result = [s[:1+s.find('=')] or s for s in options]

wow, thank you, works perfectly!
>>> mylist = ['SYSTEM=LDAP', 'registry=LDAP']
>>> result = [s[:1+s.find('=')] or s for s in mylist]
>>> print(result)
['SYSTEM=', 'registry=']
