Dear All,
I need some assistance with Python so that values in the "Name" = field e.g. Murray - James - Leo can be labeled as:
=C2=A0
Murray
James
Leo
=C2= =A0
with a new line replacing=C2=A0every dash.
=C2=A0
= Basically I need the equivalent of this=C2=A0VB in Python:
replace ( [Name] =C2=A0, "-= ", vbNewLine)
=C2=A0
I tried this but no luck:
=C2=A0
= str.[Name].replace("-", "\n")
str.[Name].repl= ace("-", \n)
[Name].replace("-", \n")
=C2=A0
Your help is appreciated

Is this what you need:

>>> names =3D= 'Tom - Dick - Harry'
>>> name_list =3D names.split(= 9;-')
>>> name_list
['Tom ', ' Dick ', &= #39; Harry']
>>> name_list =3D names.split('-')
>>> for n i= n name_list:
...=C2=A0=C2=A0 print n.strip()
...
Tom
Dick
H= arry
>>>
