This is kind of a theoretical question. I.E. I am looking for a
keyword to do research on.
Consider the following string:
'3:2,6:2,4:3,5:0|age50height63nametimvalue'
If the string above is split on the first occurance of '|',
the result is a 'leftmost' component which can be decomposed into a
nested list of integers which can then be used to parse the
'rightmost' string into a dictionary.
What would be a generic term or a pythonist term for such a string?
I've called them formatted or structured -- you could also say
proprietary I imagine. I'm not aware if there's a formal name...
