Two text files, want to add a column value

[XavierPlatinum]

I'm rusty at this, but it looks like string.split() function is the what you are looking for.

text = "bunch of stuff, other stuff"

x = text.split(", ")

print(x) 

output:

['bunch of stuff', 'other stuff']

You get a list. You can refer to each part by index text[0], text[1].

Is that helpful?
