Creating a list from another list - Python
arrays, list, python
Solution
It is as simple as:
input_string = ("""The cat in the hat
Red fish blue fish """)
words = [i.split(" ") for i in input_string.split('\n')]
It generates:
[['The', 'cat', 'in', 'the', 'hat', ''], ['Red', 'fish', 'blue', 'fish', '']]
Problem
I'm trying to create a program where the user inputs a list of strings, each one in a separate line. I want to be able to be able to return, for example, the third word in the second line. The input below would then return "blue". ``` input_string("""The cat in the hat Red fish blue fish """) ``` Currently I have this: ``` def input_string(input): words = input.split('\n') ``` So I can output a certain line using words[n], but how do output a specific word in a specific line? I've been trying to implement being able to type words[1][2] but my attempts at creating a multidimensional array have failed. I've been trying to split each words[n] for a few hours now and google hasn't helped. I apologize if this is completely obvious, but I just started using Python a few days ago and am completely stuck.
