How do you parse a string enclosed in Curly Braces?
For instance:
x = "{ABC EFG IJK LMN OPQ}"
I want to do x.split('{} ') and it does not work. Why does it not work
and what are EXCEPTIONS to using the split method?
.split() takes a *substring* to split on, *not* a set of individual
characters to split on. Read the Fine Docs.
That I want to split based on '{', '}' and WHITESPACE.
Well, you could use a regex, or you could just .find() where the
braces are, slice them off the ends of the string, and then split the
result on space.
Here's a function which splits on multiple characters:
def split_many(string, delimiters):
parts = [string]
for d in delimiters:
parts = sum((p.split(d) for p in parts), [])
return parts
