Testing testing… one two..
I’m learning python. Well, in reality I’ve been learning python for quite some time now. Since I usually live in C by day I can only use my free time to try out python.
It started with a desperate need for knowing how to make programs for the raspberry pi. Then, as time went on I have been more used to the syntax. Fortunately everything I do has been tried before so I can look it up on the net.
Anyway, this is just a real quick one. If you ever find yourself having to split a sentence into smaller chunks of text but preserving the readability of the string you really want to split on the spaces. How to do that?
Here’s how:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
s = "This is a test that should be long enough to break into multipls lines.. " maxlength=30 w = s.split() #split string into words sentence=[""] #list to hold split sentences lineP=0 #line 'pointer': which line should the word be added to for i in range(len(w)): #for all words in the string if ((len(sentence[lineP])+len(w[i])+1)>maxlength): #if the current line is too long sentence.append("") #add a new line lineP=lineP+1 #and point to that sentence[lineP]=sentence[lineP]+w[i]+" " #add the word and a space for i in range(lineP+1): #show the result print (sentence[i]) |
Not really that advanced after all!
