split string - enigma619 - May-20-2020
Hi
I've a question about proper method to split a string.
my strings are like this:
object Host "serviceXXX-YYYY" {I'm doing my plit like this:hostname = line.split(" ")[2].split('"')[1]Do you have a better method to do this split?Thanks for your help
Alex

Alternatively you can do only one split:
>>> s = 'object Host "serviceXXX-YYYY" {'
>>> s.split('"', maxsplit=2)[1]
'serviceXXX-YYYY'
