Answer 1

Apparently you want to split with a regex expression. But that is not how str.split(..) works: it splits by a string.

We can use the re module to split correctly:

import re

print(re.split('\n|,', case1.split("some")[1])[0])

This produces:

>>> print(re.split('\n|,', case1.split("some")[1])[0])
 test
>>>
