Join Examples

Let’s show an example

Creating a new list

>>> music = ["Abba","Rolling Stones","Black Sabbath","Metallica"]

>>> print music
['Abba', 'Rolling Stones', 'Black Sabbath', 'Metallica']

Join a list with an empty space

>>> print ' '.join(music)
Abba Rolling Stones Black Sabbath Metallica

Join a list with a new line

>>> print "
".join(music)
Abba
Rolling Stones
Black Sabbath
Metallica

Join a list with a tab

>>> print "	".join(music)
Abba	Rolling Stones	Black Sabbath	Metallica
>>>

Happy scripting!
