Question

I am having trouble parsing String2, by a space. Thoughts?

String1 = "THIS IS STRING1 18-23-80-18"

String2 = "THIS IS STRING2 7-A-4, 4-93-P"

Split1 = String1.rsplit(" ",2)

Output1 = "18-23-80-18" #This Works fine

Split2 = String2.????? # Not sure what to do here 

Output2 = "7-A-4, 4-93-P" #How do I Ignore the first space from the right?

Clarification:

The * represents the space I am trying to ignore and the % represents the space I want to find.

"%7-A-4,*4-93-P"

Thanks.

Use regex to split the string:

>>> import re
>>> string2 = "THIS IS STRING2 7-A-4, 4-93-P"
>>> re.split(r'[^,]\s+', string2)[-1]
'7-A-4, 4-93-P'
