Use the split() method:

varall = "hello:my:whats:up"
varlst = varall.split(':') #splits string at the character ':'
for var in varlst:
    print(var)

If you already know the no. of variables that will be in the string, you could use sth. like: `var1 = varlst[0]; var2 = varlst[1]`... and so on. OR you could use a dictionary. – Sid Apr 17 '21 at 16:04

Use split function to achieve that.

txt = "hello:my:whats:up"
x = txt.split(":")
print(x)
   
#Output - ['hello', 'my', 'whats', 'up']

varall = "hello:my:whats:up"
var1,var2,var3,var4=varall.split (":")
print (var1,var2,var3,var4)

Try This ..it will create list of strings and then store them in var1,var2,var3,var4...make sure you have only 4 words separated by ":"..
