partition method of str class

Method Name:

partition

Method Signature:

partition(separatorChar)

Method Overview:

The partition method of str class splits a string object into two strings based on the separator character found at the lowest index of the string
partition() returns the resulting first token, the separator and the resulting second token as a tuple.

Example1:

partitionChar = "@"

string2Partition = "someone@example.org"

tokens = string2Partition.partition(partitionChar)

print(tokens)

partitionChar = "."

tokens = string2Partition.partition(partitionChar)

print(tokens)

Output:

('someone', '@', 'example.org')

('someone@example', '.', 'org')

Example2:

stockQuote = '"MSFT","65.11","65.26","64.75","16457370"'

seperator = ","

stringTuple = stockQuote.partition(seperator)

print(stringTuple)

Output:

('"MSFT"', ',', '"65.11","65.26","64.75","16457370"')

Example3 – A simple string tokenizer using python’s partition method:

def tokenise_string(csvString, seperator):

string2work = csvString

tokens = []

while(True):

parts = string2work.partition(seperator)

if parts[0] is not "":

tokens.append(parts[0])

string2work = parts[2]

else:

break

return tokens

stockQuote = '"MSFT","68.21","66.36","65.85","15357470"'

tks = tokenise_string(stockQuote,",")

print(tks)

Output:

['"MSFT"', '"68.21"', '"66.36"', '"65.85"', '"15357470"']
