I have a big txt file and I want to split it into a list where every word is a element of the list. I want to commas to be included on the elements like the example.

txt file Hi, my name is Mick and I want to split this with commas included, like this. list ['Hi,','my','name','is','Mick' etc. ]

Thank you very much for the help

Just use str.split() without any pattern, it'll split on space(s)

value = 'Hi, my name is Mick and I want to split this with commas included, like this.'
res = value.split()
print(res) # ['Hi,', 'my', 'name', 'is', 'Mick', 'and', 'I', 'want', 'to', 'split', 'this', 'with', 'commas', 'included,', 'like', 'this.']

res = [r for r in value.split() if ',' not in r]
print(res) # ['my', 'name', 'is', 'Mick', 'and', 'I', 'want', 'to', 'split', 'this', 'with', 'commas', 'like', 'this.']
