I am working with strings in python. I have a string like this one:
'http://pbs.twimg.com/media/xxiajdiojadf.jpg||2013-11-17,16:19:52||more text in this string'
To get the first and the second part of the string is easy, but what I need to do for the second part?, I mean I want to get the text after the second || . For the first ones:
url=s.split("||")[0] and date=s.split("||")[1]
I have try with url=s.split("||")[2] but I have nothing
Thanks in advance
You can get that using 2nd index:
s.split("||")[2]
output:
'more text in this string'
split will return the list.
>>> s.split("||")
['http://pbs.twimg.com/media/xxiajdiojadf.jpg', '2013-11-17,16:19:52', 'more text in this string']
>>> url,date,extra = s.split("||")
>>> print(url)
'http://pbs.twimg.com/media/xxiajdiojadf.jpg'
>>> print(date)
'2013-11-17,16:19:52'
>>> print(extra)
'more text in this string'
I think you have just made a typo. You logic is correct. On your third line you should use another variable, not 'url'.
A bit more terse way to do it would be:
url, date, descr = s.split("||")
