i know it is kind of a mess and i can’t change the input array but let’s do a quick coding to make it more understandable:

for i in range(10):
    TestList1.append(recieveList[i].split('rn'))

after that code, the array is quite more understandable:

so now i have basically 10 "slave"-lists in one "master"-list.
With each "slave"-list holding 100 measurements. That are seperated strings with 10 measurements.

kind of like:

[[string0.1,string0.2,string0.3 ..],[string1.1, string1.2 …], …]

so far so good.
now i tried to use a code like this:

result = ''.join(''.join(l) for l in TestList1)
TestList2=result.split(';')

which was kinda what i wanted, however every 10th and 11th value are fused together. as you can see below:

duo to that fusion of some values i can not convert it like:

TestList2=[float(i) for i in TestList2]

I hope i could explain my problem and my progress so far.
Surely my path isn’t the best, as i’m still learning Python. So if anyyone has a completly other fix, feel free to share it with me 🙂

Have a good Day

Since the line breaks are the same as semicolons, we can first strip the line breaks at the end, then replace remaining line breaks with semicolons. Then a simple str.split(';') will do.

data = ['1.00;2.00rn3.00;4.00rn', '5.00;6.00rn7.00;8.00rn']
output = []
for item in data:
    output.append(item.strip().replace('rn', ';').split(';'))
print(output)

# Or a one-liner:
print([item.strip().replace('rn', ';').split(';') for item in data])

Output:

[['1.00', '2.00', '3.00', '4.00'], ['5.00', '6.00', '7.00', '8.00']]

Then you can convert it into floats:

>>> [[float(v) for v in x] for x in output]
[[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0], [5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0]]

Rather than splitting the string, use a regular expression to identify the floating point values within the string.

Like this:
