I have this simple string: mystr = 'this_NP is_VL funny_JJ'
I want to split it and give me a list as ['this', 'NP', 'is', 'VL', 'funny', 'JJ'] 1. I tried mystr.split('_| '), but this gave me: ['this_NP is_VL funny_JJ'] It is not splitted at all. 2. I tried mystr.split('_'), and this gave me: ['this', 'NP is', 'VL funny', 'JJ'] in which, space is not used as a delimiter. 3. I tried mystr.split(' '), and this gave me: ['this_NP', 'is_VL', 'funny_JJ'] in which, '_' is not used as delimiter. I think the documentation does say that the separator/delimiter can be a string representing all delimiters we want to use. I do I split the string by using both ' ' and '_' as the delimiters at once? Thanks. __________________________________ Yahoo!
