Trying to pull parts of each item from a list into a new list

Question

I have a long list (called "CurrentTitleAndCompany") that looks like this:

['VP of Human Resources at Arkansas Glass Container Corp · 2019 – Present', 'Compensation Benefits Administrator at Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Oregon · 2018 – Present', 'Vice President Employee Benefits at USI Insurance Services · 2020 – Present', 'Benefits Team Sub-Lead at ASM Research · 2019 – Present',]

I want to create a new list (called "CurrentTitle") that takes the parts from each item that come before "at".

This is what I wrote, but I'm getting a "list index out of range" error:

CurrentTitle = []

for element in CurrentTitleAndCompany:
    CurrentTitle.append(element.split("at",0)[1])

Answer 1

My personal suggestion would be for you to create a class and separate the titles from the companies, such as the following:

class CurrentTitleAndCompany:
    CompanyPersonOne = "Apple"
    TitlePersonOne = "CEO"
    CompanyPersonTwo = "Microsoft"
    TitlePersonTwo = "Vice President"


print("Person One currently works at", CurrentTitleAndCompany.CompanyPersonOne, 
"and occupies the title of ",
      CurrentTitleAndCompany.TitlePersonOne)

print("Person Two currently works at", CurrentTitleAndCompany.CompanyPersonTwo, 
"and occupies the title of ",
      CurrentTitleAndCompany.TitlePersonTwo)
