Though in some cases, you might need the separation to occur based on not just one but multiple delimiter values. This quick 101 article introduces two convenient approaches this can be achieved in Python.</p> <h2 id="split-string-with-two-delimiters-in-python">Split String With Two Delimiters in Python</h2> <p>Assume the following string.</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-Python" data-lang="Python"><span class="line"><span class="ln" id="line--1"><a class="lnlinks" href="#line--1">1</a></span><span class="cl"><span class="n">text</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&#34;python is, an easy;language; to, learn.&#34;</span> </span></span></code></pre></div><p>For our example, we need to split it either by a semicolon followed by a space <code>;</code>, or by a comma followed by a space <code>,</code>. In this case, any occurrences of singular semicolons or commas i.e. <code>,</code> , <code>;</code> with no trailing spaces should not be concerned.</p><br />: http://sconts.com/legacy/post/split-string-with-multiple-delimiters-in-python/
