splits string according to delimeters      Let s make a function that can split a string into list according the given delimeters   example data  cat dog greff snake  example delimeters    -         def string to splitted array data delimeters        result list     res            we will add chars into sub str until       reach a delimeter     sub str          for c in data   iterate over data char by char           if we reached a delimeter  we store the result          if c in delimeters                 avoid empty strings             if len sub str  gt 0                    looks like a valid string                  res append sub str                    reset sub str to start over                 sub str              else                c is not a deilmeter  then it is                part of the string              sub str    c       there may not be delimeter at end of data         if sub str is not empty  we should att it to list       if len sub str  gt 0          res append sub str        result is in res      return res    test the function   delimeters      -        read the csv data from console   csv string   input  csv string     lets check if working   splitted array   string to splitted array csv string delimeters  print splitted array

In the case of integers that are included at the string  if you want to avoid casting them to int individually you can do   mList    int e  if e isdigit   else e for e in mStr split         It is called list comprehension  and it is based on set builder notation   ex     gt  gt  gt  mStr    1 A B 3 4   gt  gt  gt  mList    int e  if e isdigit   else e for e in mStr split        gt  gt  gt  mList  gt  gt  gt   1  A   B  3 4
