Splitting Strings In List

I have a list like ;

list1 = [‘ex1_a’,’ex2_b’,’ex3_b’]

I want to split it like this to the new list ;

newlist = [‘ex1 a’, ‘ex2 b’, ‘ex3 b’]

I try to do it like this but it didn’t work. How can I do this?

for x in list1:
             newlist = " ".join(x.split("_"))

>Solution :

You can use str.replace instead str.split/str.join:

list1 = ["ex1_a", "ex2_b", "ex3_b"]

newlist = [v.replace("_", " ") for v in list1]
print(newlist)

Prints:

['ex1 a', 'ex2 b', 'ex3 b']

If you want to use str.split:

newlist = [" ".join(v.split("_")) for v in list1]
