How To Split A String In Python With A Remainder?

In python3 I have e.g. the following string 433 65040 9322 /opt/conda/envs/python2/bin/python -m ipykernel_launcher which I want to split in four parts: the first three eleme

Solution 1:

You can use split with the maxsplit parameter:

text = " 433 65040    9322 /opt/conda/envs/python2/bin/python -m ipykernel_launcher"
text.strip().split(maxsplit=3)  # max 3 splits
# ['433', '65040', '9322', '/opt/conda/envs/python2/bin/python -m ipykernel_launcher']
