how to use python string partition() with example

Python string partition() method with example

The partition() method in Python is a built-in string method that helps split a string into three parts based on a specified separator. The method searches for the separator within the string and divides it into three components: the part before the separator, the separator itself, and the part after the separator. The resulting parts are returned as a tuple.

Syntax: 

string.partition(separator)

How to use the partition() method:

text = "Hello, World!"
result = text.partition(", ")

print(result)

Output:

('Hello', ', ', 'World!')

Example 1

Parsing email addresses.

email = "[email protected]"
username, separator, domain = email.partition("@")

print("Username:", username)
print("Separator:", separator)
print("Domain:", domain)

Output:

Username: example
Separator: @
Domain: example.com

Example 2

Splitting a URL into parts.

url = "https://www.example.com/path/to/page.html"
protocol, separator, remainder = url.partition("://")
domain, separator, path = remainder.partition("/")

print("Protocol:", protocol)
print("Separator:", separator)
print("Domain:", domain)
print("Separator:", separator)
print("Path:", path)

Output:

Protocol: https
Separator: ://
Domain: www.example.com
Separator: /
Path: path/to/page.html
