I have a string: lst = 'sbs1.23444nroen'
im using lst2 = ''.join(filter(str.isdigit, lst))
to remove all the letters so the result is: lst2 = '123444'
is there any way to include the "." so that the result would be '1.23444' without the letters but keeping the dot?
CodePudding user response:
A more friendly to the eye solution and extendable if you want to include more characters.
s = 'sbs1.23444nroen'
toKeep = set('0123456789.')
s = ''.join(ch for ch in s if ch in toKeep)
print(s)

lst2 = ''.join(filter(lambda x: str.isdigit(x) or x=='.', lst))
CodePudding user response:
An alternative solution would be to use a regular expression, although the set
solution is the best so far.
>>> re.findall(r"\d \.\d*", lst)
['1.23444']
With the added benefit of grabbing other groups of numbers as well:
>>> re.findall(r"\d \.?\d*", "sbs1.23444nroe631n")
['1.23444', '631']
