It doesn't matter what is in the string, I want to be able to know exactly
how many "yes"'s there are.
I also want to know what is after each, regardless of length. So, I want to
be able to get "text1", but not "text4" because it is after "no" and I want
all of "text5+more Text" because it is after "yes". It is like the yeses are
bullet points and I want all the info after them. However, all in one
string.
def list_of_yes_prefixed_possibly_no_suffixed(s) :
return (' '+s).split(' yes ')[1:]
def removed_no_suffixes(t) :
return t.split(' no ')[0]
infos = map(removed_no_suffixes,
list_of_yes_prefixed_possibly_no_suffixed(string))
how_many = len(infos)
or as a one-liner :
infos = [ t.split(' no ')[0] for t in (' '+string).split(' yes ')[1:]]
