I am using Python 3.3. I have this string:
"Att education is secondary,primary,unknown"
now I need split the last three words (there may be more or only one) and create all possible combinations and save it to list. Like here:
"Att education is secondary"
"Att education is primary"
"Att education is unknown"
What is the easiest way to do it?
data = "Att education is secondary,primary,unknown"
first, _, last = data.rpartition(" ")
for item in last.split(","):
print("{} {}".format(first, item))
Output
Att education is secondary
Att education is primary
Att education is unknown
If you want the strings in a list, then use the same in list comprehension, like this
["{} {}".format(first, item) for item in last.split(",")]
Note: This may not work if there are spaces in the middle of the comma separated values or in the values themselves.
a = "Att education is secondary,primary,unknown"
last = a.rsplit(maxsplit=1)[-1]
chopped = a[:-len(last)]
for x in last.split(','):
print('{}{}'.format(chopped, x))
If you can guarantee that you words are delimited with a single space this will also work (more elegant):
chopped, last = "Att education is secondary,primary,unknown".rsplit(maxsplit=1)
for x in last.split(','):
print('{} {}'.format(chopped, x))
Will work fine as long as the last words' separator doesn't include whitespace.
Output:
Att education is secondary
Att education is primary
Att education is unknown
s="Att education is secondary,primary,unknown".split()
w=s[1]
l=s[-1].split(',')
for adj in l:
print(' '.join([s[0],w,s[2],adj]))
