Problem with delimiters

[johnprada]

Hello everyone
I am quite stuck. i am trying to get a message from a TCP communication protocol, this message is converted in a list of strings and then into a list of float, The thing is that im getting an error because of the delimiters.
<the message is dynamic and it has this form:
message = 0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000*
i want to get everything behind the '*'
here is my code

while True:

    message = conn.recv(BUFFER_SIZE)
    if not message:
        break
                
    t1 = time.time()
    message = message.decode("utf-8")
    print("Raw message: {}".format(message))


    data = list(message.split(","))
    print("Data Size:{} ".format(len(data)))
    

    
    MyNewData = []
    for item in data:
        MyNewData.append(float(item))
    print("The new list: {}".format(MyNewData))

        
    print("Size:{} ".format(len(data)))
    if len(MyNewData) < 9:
        continue


    DataX = MyNewData[0:3]
    DataY = MyNewData[3:6]
    DataZ = MyNewData[6:9]

This the ouput and error

Output:
Raw message: 0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000*

expected output should be like this
message: 0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000,0.2081006,0.0000000,0.0000000

Error:
  File "lstm_server_3.py", line 158, in <module>
    MyNewData.append(float(item))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '0.0000000*'

The i changed the code into this

while True:

    message = conn.recv(BUFFER_SIZE)
    if not message:
        break
                
    t1 = time.time()
    message = message.decode("utf-8")
    print("Raw message: {}".format(message))


    data = list(message.split(","))
    print("Data Size:{} ".format(len(data)))
    

        


  
    MyLastString = data[-1]

    
    result2 = MyLastString.find('*')
    if result2 > 0:
        MyLastString = MyLastString[0:result2]

    data[len(data)-1] = MyLastString
    
    MyNewData = []
    for item in data:
        MyNewData.append(float(item))
    print("The new list: {}".format(MyNewData))

        
    print("Size:{} ".format(len(data)))
    if len(MyNewData) < 9:
        continue


    DataX = MyNewData[0:3]
    DataY = MyNewData[3:6]
    DataZ = MyNewData[6:9]

Now the error is in the first position of the list. Also it seems that some part of the last element is in the first element

Output:
message: 35*0.2593872,0.0000000,-5.0712390,0.2593872,0.0000000,-0.4532299,0.2593872,0.0000000,-0.10

so my expected output should be like this
message: 0.2593872,0.0000000,-5.0712390,0.2593872,0.0000000,-0.4532299,0.2593872,0.0000000,-0.1035

Error:
  File "lstm_server_3.py", line 158, in <module>
    MyNewData.append(float(item))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: '35*0.2593872'
