Python list of strings to 1 string separated by comma & quotes (, & ")












0















I have a list of strings:
list_of_strings = ["A", "List", "Of", "Strings"]



I want to convert it to one new string looking like:



new_string=""" "A", "List", "Of", "Strings" """



(
I tried to use the join function, but i didn't manage to do it properly:
','.join(list_of_strings) )






python string list join quotes

You need the double quotes on your string.



new_string = "  " + ", ".join(['"{}"'.format(x) for x in list_of_strings]) + "  "
