Splitting strings in list of strings
#4
I think a regex could help.

I used this regex: r"\s+?(\w+)\s+?:\s+?(\w+)"
On this line of text: " val_1 : val_2 val_3 : val_4 val_5 : val_6 "
I put the white spaces intentionally in this long string to make it harder.


You can the regex on https://regex101.com/
Don't forget to check Python as language.
The regex-string is on the top, and you must enter it without the leading r and the quotes.

The function re.findall will return all matching groups.
A dict can take this output.

Doing the same with str.split, str.strip etc. is a bit harder.
For myself, I didn't find a good solution without regex for this problem.

Often, the use of a regex can lead into the wrong direction.
