In this program we will try to convert the given string to a list containing spaces or any other special characters, depending on the user`s choice. For this we use the split () method. 
Syntax :

string.split("delimiter")

Examples:

 Input: "Geeks for Geeks" Output: [`Geeks`,` for`, `Geeks`] Input:" Geeks-for-Geeks "Output: [` Geeks`, `for`,` Geeks`]  
 The split method is used to split strings and store them in a list. The built-in method returns a list of words in a string using the "delimiter" as the delimiter string. If no delimiter is specified or is missing, a different splitting algorithm is applied: a series of consecutive spaces are treated as a single delimiter, and the result is no leading or trailing blank lines if the string has a leading or trailing space. 
 Example 1: 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
  # Python code to convert string to list  
 
  
 
  def   Convert (string):  
 
   li   =   list   (string.split (  ""  ))   
   return   li  
 
  
  # Driver code  
 
  str1   =   "Geeks for Geeks"  
 
  print   (Convert (str1)) 
 
  
 
 
  
 
 Output: 
 
 [`Geeks`,` for`, `Geeks`] 
 Example 2: 





  # Python code to convert string to list  
  def   Convert (string): 
   li   =   list   (string.split (  "-"  )) 
   return   li 
  
  # Driver code  
  str1   =   "Geeks-for-Geeks"  
  print   ( Convert (str1)) 





 Output: 
 [`Geeks`,` for`, `Geeks`]
