Hello, I am newbie with Python. I would like to convert string to array.
This is my strin looks like:

Hello
World

my expectation it become ["hello","world"]

What I have tried:

This is my string comes from:

Python

<Country>
         <number no="11" info="date">
              <detail name="a1" class="11a" />
                   <string name="hello" />
                   <string name="world" />
              </detail>
              <detail name="a2" class="1a2" />
                   <string name="hello" />
                   <string name="world" />
              </detail>
         </number>
    <Country>

    XML = ET.parse(File)
    for name in XML.findall('.//detail [@class="11a"]/'):
       detname = name.get('name')
       print(detname)

the output of `detname` is like this:

hello
world

I tried like this:

Python

arr = string.split()
print(arr)

it return this: ['world']
it not include the "hello".
Anyone can help me please. Thank you

Where is the code that creates the string?

I updated the question how I got the string

Well that is totally different issue from your original question. You do not have a single string that contains two words, but two separate strings: "hello" and "world".

I have just tried to run that code and nothing works, including the fact that the XML is badly formed. Can I suggest you actually test your code and post exactly what does work.

Not true!

Take a look at below examples:

Python

#Example 1
txt = "Hello,\nWord!"
x = txt.split()
print(x) 
#returns: ['Hello,', 'Word!']

#Example 2
txt = "welcome to the jungle"
x = txt.split()
print(x) 
#returns: ['welcome', 'to', 'the', 'jungle']

Go to The Python Tutorial — Python 3.7.10 documentation[^] where everything is explained in clear terms.
