Re: [Tutor] str.split and quotes

I wish it would leave the stuff in quotes in tact: If you first split on your delimiter (which must have a matching one) you will obtain a list in which every odd position contains a string that was quoted. Step through the result and split the ones that are not quoted ones but don't do anythin

Hi Marilyn, Before you get numerous suggestions to use regexes (which was my first idea), you could use the split method to do it - >>> q = 'Hi "Python Tutors" please help' >>> w = q.split('\"') >>> print w ['Hi ', 'Python Tutors', ' please help'] I'm splitting using a double speech mark as t
