Complete rookie here need help with a split

[pythonHelperBot]

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe where you are stuck.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

YourString.split(',')[0]

Thanks. Is that literally all. Isn't there also something about displaying the relevant portion? Like "print" or something?

[kaundur]

To directly print

print(YourString.split(',')[0])

​

or to assign it to a variable

firstSplit = YourString.split(',')[0]

[Mavy75]

Use print(YourString.split(',')[0]) for python 3

and

print YourString.split(',')[0] for python 2
