For example, I have a string section 213(d)-456(c)
How can I split it to get a list of strings:
['section', '213', '(', 'd', ')', '-', '456', '(', 'c', ')'].
Thank you!

You can do so using Regex.
import re
text = "section 213(d)-456(c)"
output = re.split("(\W)", text)
Output: ['section', ' ', '213', '(', 'd', ')', '', '-', '456', '(', 'c', ')', '']
Here \W is for non-word character!

You can come close with
re.split(r'([-\s()])', 'section 213(d)-456(c)')
When the delimiter contains a capture group, the result includes the captured text.
However, this will also include the space delimiters in the result:
['section', ' ', '213', '(', 'd', ')', '', '-', '456', '(', 'c', ')', '']
You can easily remove these afterward.
