I came across this snippet on Grepper:
line = "<html><head>" d = ">" s = [e+d for e in line.split(d) if e] print(s) #Output: #["<html>", "<head>"]
It works fine for the example given. But if I split a sentence, this snippet will add the delimiter twice:
line = "<html><head>" d = ">" s = [e+d for e in line.split(d) if e] print(s) #Output: #['There are two methods:', ' one is to try, the other is to not try.:']
so I worked on it and came up with this, which works:
d = ","
splitSentences = sentence.split(d)
counter = 0
maxLines = len(splitSentences)
for splitSentence in splitSentences:
if counter < maxLines - 1:
paragraphList.append(splitSentence + d)
else:
paragraphList.append(splitSentence)
counter = counter + 1
I’m wondering if there is a way to do this in more elegant way.

Answer
s = [e+d for e in line.split(d) if e]
# If the delimiter is not the last character, then drop it from the last string.
if line[-1] != d:
s[-1] = s[-1][:-1]
IMO, This is more readable than any one-line solution.
