[Solved] How to split chinese and english word once only?

by


One of the option is just to split before the first English character and take the 1st and 2nd group

inputstring = '小西 - 杏花 Siu Sai - Heng Fa'
a = re.split(r'([a-zA-Z].*)', inputstring)
>>>['小西 - 杏花 ', 'Siu Sai - Heng Fa', '']

Another way to do this without an empty string is to use the regex ?=[a-z] as pointed out by @blhsing

a = re.split(r'(?:=[a-z])', inputstring)
