Is there a way to split a string without splitting escaped character? For example, I have a string and want to split by ':' and not by '\:'
http\://www.example.url:ftp\://www.example.url The result should be the following:
['http\://www.example.url' , 'ftp\://www.example.url']

The standard solution is to use the split() method provided by the String class. It takes a regular expression as a delimiter and returns a string array. We can make the above code work by escaping the dot character. An escape character invokes an alternative interpretation on the following characters of a string.
Python String | split() separator : This is a delimiter. The string splits at this specified separator. If is not provided then any white space is a separator. maxsplit : It is a number, which tells us to split the string into maximum of provided number of times.
You can use the split() method of String class from JDK to split a String based on a delimiter e.g. splitting a comma-separated String on a comma, breaking a pipe-delimited String on a pipe, or splitting a pipe-delimited String on a pipe.
There is a much easier way using a regex with a negative lookbehind assertion:
re.split(r'(?<!\\):', str) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
