python - split string into multiple lists by a char

Question

I have a returned string from a function such:

"& True  True & True  False & False"

I need to write a function that puts all the elements between & in a list and deletes it, such:

[[True, True], [True, False], [False]] 

How do I do it? thanks in advance!

Answer 1

you can use split

 l = "& True  True & True  False & False"
 result = [j.split() for j in l.split('&') if j!='']
 print(result)

output

[['True', 'True'], ['True', 'False'], ['False']]
