python - 奇怪的分隔符

Question

在Python中，我试图解析文件并分离值，但是，我正在使用一个奇怪的分隔符。有人可以帮忙吗？谢谢!

我正在解析的文件中的行显示类似于:

john-burk AL
john-smith    CA
john-joe    FL
john-john  TX

当前代码:

with open('info.txt', 'r') as f:
    for line in f:
        try:
            name, state = line.split(<do not know what to use>)
        except Exception as e:
            print "[-] Error parsing data " + str(e)

预期输出:

name = "john-burk"
state = "AL"

Answer 1

引用str.split文档，

str.split([sep[, maxsplit]]) If sep is not specified or is None, a different splitting algorithm is applied: runs of consecutive whitespace are regarded as a single separator, and the result will contain no empty strings at the start or end if the string has leading or trailing whitespace.

所以，你可以简单地这样做

name, state = line.split()
print name, state

由于我们没有指定分隔符，Python 将根据任意数量的连续空白字符作为分隔符进行分割。因此，您的数据可以分为 name 和 state

注意:如果名称包含任何空白字符，则此操作将不起作用。
