I need to split "WUBWUBIWUBAMWUBWUBX" such that I get the words ['I','AM','X'] I tried using this line:

l=re.split("([W][U][B])+","WUBWUBIWUBAMWUBWUBX")

I got the output like :

['', 'WUB', 'I', 'WUB', 'AM', 'WUB', 'X']

And what makes you unhappy with the result? Note, that your expression can be simplified to `[WUB]+`. – Jan Jul 09 '20 at 08:27
`([W][U][B])+` => `(?:[W][U][B])+` would already [solve the issue](https://ideone.com/L3nx7a). You may also use `re.findall(r'[^WUB]+', text)` – Wiktor Stribiżew Jul 09 '20 at 08:29

Without regex `print("WUBWUBIWUBAMWUBWUBX".replace('WUB', ' ').split())` – ScootCork Jul 09 '20 at 08:30
