Regex to separate Numeric from Alpha
I have a bunch of strings:
"10people"
"5cars"
..
How would I split this to?
['10','people']
['5','cars']

It can be any amount of numbers and text.
I'm thinking about writing some sort of regex - however I'm sure there's an easy way to do it in Python.
>>> re.findall('(\d+|[a-zA-Z]+)', '12fgsdfg234jhfq35rjg')
['12', 'fgsdfg', '234', 'jhfq', '35', 'rjg']
Use the regex (\d+)([a-zA-Z]+)
.
import re
a = ["10people", "5cars"]
[re.match('^(\\d+)([a-zA-Z]+)$', x).groups() for x in a]
Result:
[('10', 'people'), ('5', 'cars')]
>>> re.findall("\d+|[a-zA-Z]+","10people")
['10', 'people']
>>> re.findall("\d+|[a-zA-Z]+","10people5cars")
['10', 'people', '5', 'cars']
In general, a split on /(?<=[0-9])(?=[a-z])|(?<=[a-z])(?=[0-9])/i
separates a string that way.
>>> import re
>>> s = '10cars'
>>> m = re.match(r'(\d+)([a-z]+)', s)
>>> print m.group(1)
10
>>> print m.group(2)
cars
If you are like me and goes long loops around to avoid regexpes justbecause they are ugly, here is a non-regex approach:
data = "5people10cars"
numbers = "".join(ch if ch.isdigit() else "\n" for ch in data).split()
names = "".join(ch if not ch.isdigit() else "\n" for ch in data).split()
final = zip (numbers, names)
Piggybacking on jsbueno's idea, using str.translate, followed by split:
import string
allchars = ''.join(chr(i) for i in range(32,256))
digExtractTrans = string.maketrans(allchars, ''.join(ch if ch.isdigit() else ' ' for ch in allchars))
alpExtractTrans = string.maketrans(allchars, ''.join(ch if ch.isalpha() else ' ' for ch in allchars))
data = "5people10cars"
numbers = data.translate(digExtractTrans).split()
names = data.translate(alpExtractTrans).split()
You only need to create the translation tables once, then call translate and split as often as you want.
