Hi beloved list,
I'm having a dumb and SO doesn't seem to have this one answered. I was
sent a long list of instagram usernames to tag for a nightlife
announcement in this format(not real names(i hope))
cookielover93
TheGermanHatesSaurkraut
WhatsThatBoy932834
I'd like to turn this raw text into a list and prepend the @ symbol to
the front of each one, so they're good to go for pasting without me
having to manually add the @ to each one.
Here's where I got to:
raw_address = "cookielover93 TheGermanHatesSaurkraut WhatsThatBoy932834"
address_library = [raw_address.split()]
print address_library
for address in address_library:
final_address = "@" + str(address)
print final_address
However my output is:
[['cookielover93', 'TheGermanHatesSaurkraut', 'WhatsThatBoy932834']]
@['cookielover93', 'TheGermanHatesSaurkraut', 'WhatsThatBoy932834']
I know I'm iterating wrong. May I ask how?
