A quick string processing query. If I have an entry in a list such
as
['>NAME\n'],
is there a way to split it into two separate lines:
NAME
Yes if you know where the linebreak will be.
s = ">NAME\n"
twolines = [s[0],s[1:]] # list of two strings
for line in twolines; print line
or if you really just want a newline inserted:
twolines = s[0] + '\n' + s[1:] insert newline
or use replace:
twolines = s.replace( '>' , '>\n' )
If you want more sophistication you could
use a regex to determine the split point.
