hello I have a question: How can I remove numbers from string, I know that the fasted and best way is to use translate
'hello467'.translate(None, '0123456789')
will return hello, but what if I want to remove only numbers that are not attached to a sting for example: 'the 1rst of every month I spend 10 dollars' should be 'the 1rst of every month I spend dollars' and not 'the rst of every month I spend dollars'
import re
s = "the 1rst of every month I spend 10 dollars"
result = re.sub(r"\b\d+\b", '', s)
result = re.sub(" ", ' ', result)
should give:
the 1rst of every month I spend dollars
\b might be better than \s e.g. to catch I have 10. Though in others, it would be worse e.g. I have $10
Split the string and check if the element is a digit and if not then join it to the result.
str = ("the 1rst of every month I spend 10 dollars").split(' ')
result = ' '.join([i for i in str if not i.isdigit()])
print(result)
result = " ".join(filter(lambda x: not x.isdigit(), str))
