[Tutor] String question.

[Adam]

How's this?:
>>> s = """All,
...
... I have a problem/question I'd like to pose to you guys on how best to
... accomplish the following.  I have a string that will vary in size, what
... I would like to do is split into n size chunks.  I am also not sure how
... best to represent the chunks.  For example, say I have a len(s) = 200
... chars.  I'd like to get one chunk with 160 of those chars and the
... remaining 40 in a second.  Likewise, if I have a len(s) = 350, I'd like
... two chunks of 160 and a 3rd with the remainder.
...
... I don't know what it would best way to accomplish this.  I have the idea
... of converting the string to a list of chars loop through it until size
... is met, create a new string with s=s[:160], then start again, and so
... on.  Is this the only way to accomplish this? Or is there a more
... elegant/clever way?
...
... Thank you  :)"""
>>> l = []
>>> start = 0
>>> for i in range(160, len(s)+160, 160):
...     l.append(s[start:i])
...     start = i
...
>>>l
