Python: Split a string by "/" slash symbol

Question

I have a lat/lng string:

"31.20/121.36"

How do I split it by the "/" symbol?

Answer 1

You can use the .split() function in order to cut it into two parts and it inserts them into a list.

text = "31.20/121.36"

print(text.split("/"))

This outputs ['31.20', '121.36'].
