Splitting Strings

Concepts: pyStringSplitJoin

Custom Delimiter Splitting Pass a delimiter string to split on specific characters: The first split produces ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry', 'date']. The path split produces ['', 'home', 'user', 'documents', 'file.txt'] - note the empty string from the leading slash. Limiting Splits This splits only at the first 2 colons, producing ['ERROR', '2024-01-15', 'Database connection failed: timeout']. The message with colons stays intact. Splitting with splitlines() This produces ['Line 1', 'Line 2', 'Line 3'] with 3 elements. Unlike split('\n'), splitlines() handles all line ending types correctly.
