[FIXED] Split a string with multiple delimiter & create a separate list

Issue

I have a python string that contains a list of words separated by either a plus or minus sign

s = "AA + BB + 1C - CC - DD"

I want to get a list of words with a plus sign which is below

plusList = ["AA", "BB", "1C"]

And a list with a minus sign as below

minusList = ["CC", "DD"]

Any help appreciated. Thank you!

Solution

import re

s = "AA + BB + 1C - CC - DD"

plusList = re.findall(r"(?:^|\+\s*)(\w+)", s)
minusList = re.findall(r"(?:\-\s*)(\w+)", s)

print(plusList)
print(minusList)
