title: How do I extract a string and put into a list WITHOUT split function?
body: <p>I am trying to extract the words from a string and assign each word to a list. Not just listing all the words. Here is what I need to do, list all the words, but I need to assign each word to a list and then print each word onto a separate line, and at the bottom of the list state the number of letters (including spaces and punctuation) and the number of words found. </p>
  
  <pre><code>EnterSentence = input('Please Enter A Sentence: ')
  EnterSentence = str(EnterSentence)
  
  print (' you entered:')
  print (EnterSentence)
  import re
  res = re.findall(r'\w+', EnterSentence)
  print (' the list of words is : ' + str(res))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Output: I was working with 'Hello my name is bot' </p>
  
  <pre><code>Please Enter A Sentence: hello my name is bot
  you entered: hello my name is bot
  the list of words is : ['hello', 'my', 'name', 'is', 'bot']
  </code></pre>
