split a string in python
I want to change this:
str = 'blue\norange\nyellow\npink\nblack'
to this:
list = ['blue','orange', 'yellow', 'pink', 'black']
I tried some for and while loops and have not been able to do it. I just want the newline character to be removed while triggering to make the next element. I was told to use:
list(str)
which gives
['b', 'l', 'u', 'e', '\n', 'o', 'r', 'a', 'n', 'g', 'e', '\n', 'y', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', 'w', '\n', 'p', 'i', 'n', 'k', '\n', 'b', 'l', 'a', 'c', 'k']
After this I use .remove()
but only one '\n'
is removed and the code gets more complicated to spell the colors.
