pyxx.strings.split_at_index(value: str, index: int, return_index: bool = False) → tuple#

Splits a string at a given index

This function can be used to split a string at a given position, returning the parts of the string before and after the given index, and optionally returning the character located at the index at which the string was split.

Parameters:

  • value (str) – String to split

  • index (int) – Index specifying position at which to split value

  • return_index (bool, optional) – Whether to include the character located at index in the tuple of strings returned by the function (default is False)

Returns:

A tuple containing the portions of value before and after the position specified by index, and possibly the value value[index] (see Notes section for format details)

Return type:

tuple

Notes

Suppose that begin, delimiter, and end are strings, and that value = f'{begin}{delimiter}{end}', where index = len(begin).

  • If return_index = False, the following tuple is returned: (begin, end)

  • If If return_index = True, the following tuple is returned: (begin, delimiter, end)
