What you've shown is an array (list), that is, it's already split. What are you starting with?

It is not python code. It looks like javascript. See in the JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX forum.

hi its not code its text file that i need to slipt using python code..

[rrashkin]

So it seems that "QUESTION DEFINITIONS
var P1_1 = new Array...
level and therefore would not include specific audit objectives or procedures.", 4, 1);" is a string that does indeed look like a javascript array assignment. Let's say you've read that string into a python variable, strA. First, let's get rid of the stuff outside the parentheses:
strA=strA.split("(")[1].split(")")[0]
Now let's replace the commas with linefeeds:
strA=strA.replace(",","\n")
Now I think you have what you want, no?

Let's say your string, QUESTION DEFINITIONS
var P1_1 = new Array("P1_1", "An audit charter should:", "A. be dynamic and change often to coincide with the changing nature of technology and the audit profession.", "B. clearly state audit objectives for the delegation of authority for the maintenance and review of internal controls.", "C. document the audit procedures designed to achieve the planned audit objectives.", "D. outline the overall authority, scope and responsibilities of the audit function.", "An audit charter should state management's objectives for, and delegation of authority to, IS audit. This charter should not significantly change over time and should be approved at the highest level of management. The audit charter would not be at a detail level and therefore would not include specific audit objectives or procedures.", 4, 1);, is in a file called "text.txt" (it could be anything).
Run this code:

fid=open("text.txt","r")
strA=fid.read()
fid.close()
strA=strA.split("(")[1].split(")")[0]
strA=strA.replace(",","\n")
print strA

What do you get?
