split and extend
When collecting data which is received from a string via splitting,
we would like to add the new elements to the existing list:
examples/lists/split_extend.py
lines = [ 'abc def ghi', 'hello world', ] collector = [] for l in lines: collector.extend(l.split()) print(collector) # ['abc', 'def', 'ghi'] # ['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'hello', 'world']
