How to split elements of a list?
Solution 1:
Something like:
>>> l = ['element1\t0238.94', 'element2\t2.3904', 'element3\t0139847']
>>> [i.split('\t', 1)[0] for i in l]
['element1', 'element2', 'element3']
Solution 2:
myList = [i.split('\t')[0] for i in myList]
Solution 3:
Try iterating through each element of the list, then splitting it at the tab character and adding it to a new list.
for i in list:
newList.append(i.split('\t')[0])
