how to filter string of dictionary from a list of python?-CodePudding

I have a list tht contains strings, and those string could be a simple string or key value pair in a string. Please see below sample

c = ['Success, no result', 'num_parts: 55', 'num_boards: 2', 'xyz', 'adsqwrqw']

I know a way to Convert String to List of dictionaries using json.loads() replace() method. But the condition is to have all elements as dictionary.

But in my case, a list contains a string, and dictionary as a string. How to filter in such condition?

Any suggestion

I think you can check if ': ' is in the string by a simple if command:

for string in c:
   if ': ' in string:
      #do something with dictionary string
   else:
      #do something with simple string

You can check for th ":" in the string as that is the key which differentiates dictionary compliant strings like this :-

lst = ['Success, no result', 'num_parts: 55', 'num_boards: 2', 'xyz', 'adsqwrqw']
DictL, StrL = [], []

for i in lst:
    if ":" in i:
        DictL.append(i)
    else:
        StrL.append(i)
