str.split() is the thing to use. By default it splits on any white space: In [1]: s = "123B new Project" In [2]: s.split() Out[2]: ['123B', 'new', 'Project'] You can tell it to only split once (the None argument means "split on white space"): In [5]: s.split(None, 1) Out[5]: ['123B', 'new Project'] The result is a list; you can assign each element to a variable: In [6]: first, second = s.split(None, 1) In [7]: first Out[7]: '123B' In [8]: second Out[8]: 'new Project' Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
