I'm using regular expressions to split a string using multiple delimiters. But if two of my delimiters occur next to each other in the string, it puts an empty string in the resulting list. For example:
re.split(',|;', "This,is;a,;string")
Results in
['This', 'is', 'a', '', 'string']
Is there any way to avoid getting '' in my list without adding ,; as a delimiter?

Use the String. split() method to split a string with multiple separators, e.g. str. split(/[-_]+/) . The split method can be passed a regular expression containing multiple characters to split the string with multiple separators.
split() only works with one argument, so I have all words with the punctuation after I split with whitespace.
Split String in Python. To split a String in Python with a delimiter, use split() function. split() function splits the string into substrings and returns them as an array.
Try this:
import re
re.split(r'[,;]+', 'This,is;a,;string')
> ['This', 'is', 'a', 'string']
