Definition
The rsplit() method splits a string into a list, starting from the right. If no "maxsplit" is specified, this method will return the same as the split() method. Note that when maxsplit is specified, the list will contain the specified number of elements plus one.
Syntax
string.rsplit(separator, maxsplit)
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| separator | Optional. Specifies the separator to use when splitting the string. By default any whitespace is a separator |
| maxsplit | Optional. Specifies how many splits to do. Default value is -1, which is "all occurrences" |
Examples:
fruits = "apple, banana, cherry, orange"
result = fruits.rsplit(", ")
print(result)
# using the maxsplit parameter
fruits = "apple, banana, cherry, orange"
result = fruits.rsplit(", ", 2)
print(result)
