# numpy.core.defchararray.rsplit

`numpy.core.defchararray.``rsplit`(a, sep=None, maxsplit=None)

  For each element in a, return a list of the words in the string, using sep as the delimiter string.

  Calls str.rsplit element-wise.

  Except for splitting from the right, `rsplit` behaves like `split`.

  Parameters : | a : array_like of str or unicode sep : str or unicode, optional If sep is not specified or None, any whitespace string is a separator. maxsplit : int, optional If maxsplit is given, at most maxsplit splits are done, the rightmost ones.
  Returns : | out : ndarray Array of list objects
