I've string which includes some irrelevant characters for example :
"t1, t2, t3"
If I'm splitting it by split(",") method I'm getting a list where second and third items include also the white space.
How can I split required string with multiply separator ?
Either split them by ", " (note the space) or strip the words after that:
[e.strip() for e in "t1, t2, t3,t4".split(",")]
>>> ['t1', 't2', 't3', 't4']
If you don't need whitespace you could use :
"t1, t2, t3,t4".replace(" ", "").split(",")
If there are arbitrary spaces after the commas, just strip the whitespace using a list comprehension:
[t.strip() for t in inputstring.split(',')]
or use a regular expression split (somewhat overkill in this situation):
import re
re.split(r',\s*', inputstring)
Demonstration:
>>> inputstring = 't1, t2, t3,t4, t5'
>>> [t.strip() for t in inputstring.split(',')]
['t1', 't2', 't3', 't4', 't5']
>>> import re
>>> re.split(r',\s*', inputstring)
['t1', 't2', 't3', 't4', 't5']
Did you try the obvious:
>>> "t1, t2, t3".split(', ')
['t1', 't2', 't3']
Use strip().
s = "t1, t2, t3"
s = [x.strip() for x in s.split(",")]
print s
