The rsplit() method splits string from the right at the specified separator and returns a list of strings.
The syntax of rsplit() is:
str.rsplit([separator [, maxsplit]])
1. rsplit() Parameters
rsplit() method takes maximum of 2 parameters:
- separator (optional)- The is a delimiter.
rsplit()method splits string starting from the right at the specified separator.
If the separator is not specified, any whitespace (space, newline etc.) string is a separator. - maxsplit (optional) – The maxsplit defines the maximum number of splits.
The default value of maxsplit is -1, meaning, no limit on the number of splits.
2. Return Value from rsplit()
rsplit() breaks the string at the separator starting from the right and returns a list of strings.
3. Example 1: How rsplit() works in Python?
text= 'Love thy neighbor'
# splits at space
print(text.rsplit())
grocery = 'Milk, Chicken, Bread'
# splits at ','
print(grocery.rsplit(', '))
# Splitting at ':'
print(grocery.rsplit(':'))
Output
['Love', 'thy', 'neighbor'] ['Milk', 'Chicken', 'Bread'] ['Milk, Chicken, Bread']
When maxsplit is not specified, rsplit() behaves like split().
4. Example 2: How split() works when maxsplit is specified?
grocery = 'Milk, Chicken, Bread, Butter'
# maxsplit: 2
print(grocery.rsplit(', ', 2))
# maxsplit: 1
print(grocery.rsplit(', ', 1))
# maxsplit: 5
print(grocery.rsplit(', ', 5))
# maxsplit: 0
print(grocery.rsplit(', ', 0))
Output
['Milk, Chicken', 'Bread', 'Butter'] ['Milk, Chicken, Bread', 'Butter'] ['Milk', 'Chicken', 'Bread', 'Butter'] ['Milk, Chicken, Bread, Butter']
If maxsplit is specified, the list will have the maximum of maxsplit+1 items.
