How to get a separate array for movie names and years from the array?
l = [“The Wizard of Oz (1939)”, “Citizen Kane (1941)”, “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari) (1920)”, “Casablanca (1942)”]
desired results:
Movies = [“The Wizard of Oz”, “Citizen Kane”, "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari) ", “Casablanca”]
Years = [“1939”, “1941”, “1920”, “1942”]
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers.
Welcome!
I would use Regular expressions:
https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/strings/#Regular-Expressions
For your example this can do, if every string is behaving nice:
re=r"(.*)\s+\((.*)\)$"
m=match.(re,l)
julia> m[1].captures
2-element Array{Union{Nothing, SubString{String}},1}:
"The Wizard of Oz"
"1939"
julia> m[2].captures
2-element Array{Union{Nothing, SubString{String}},1}:
"Citizen Kane"
"1941"
Thank you.
