To obtain the value within the quotation marks following a string split, you can use array indexing or the split() method.

Using array indexing:

string = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
words = string.split()
value = words[2][1:-1] # value = "quick"

The split() method splits the string into a list of words, and words[2] retrieves the third word in the list ("quick"). Finally, [1:-1] slices the string to remove the first and last characters (the quotation marks).

Using the split() method:

string = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
value = string.split()[2][1:-1] # value = "quick"

Here, we chain the [2][1:-1] indexing to the end of the split() method call to achieve the same result.
