Need help, let's assume that I have a string 'Sam-Person' in a variable called 'input'
name, kind = input.split('-')
By doing the above, I get two variable with different strings 'Sam' and 'Person'
is there a way to only get the first value name = 'Sam' without the need of the extra variable 'kind' and without having to work with lists?
When doing this, assuming that I was going to get only 'Sam':
name = input.split('-')
I get a list, and then I can access the values by index name[0] or name[1], but it is not what I want, I just want to directly get 'Sam' into the variable 'name', is there a way to do that or an alternative to split?
