I am trying to automate some test cases, for on test case I need a particular temperature value in integer. However, the value coming from

driver.find_element_by_id("temperature").text

see when you do,

driver.find_element_by_id("temperature").text

it is gonna return a string.

so it will look like this "12°C"

see below, we will split using '°', this and we will have an array, and we would be interesting in first element of that. Below is the full demonstration.

s = "12°C"
a = s.split('°')

print(type(s))
b = int(a[0])
print(b)

You can extract number from a string with this:

import re

print (re.findall('\d+', str1 ))

Where str1 is a string you extracting from a web element
