In Python, string parsing means extracting data or specific patterns from a string. Parsing is essential for processing text and cleaning data in coding.
The split() function breaks a string into a list. Example: text = "apple,banana,orange"fruits = text.split(",")
You can access individual parts of the string using string slicing. Example:text = "hello world" print(text[0:5]) # Output: hello
For complex parsing, use re module for patterns. Example:import re matches = re.findall(r'\d+', 'There are 3 apples and 4 bananas')
Use strip() to remove unwanted characters. Example:text = " hello " print(text.strip()) # Output: hello
