I currently investigate a problem that I want to replace something in a string.
For example. I have the following string:
‘123.49, 19.30, 02\n’
I only want the first two numbers like ‘123.49, 19.30’. The split function is not possible, because a I have a lot of data and some with and some without the last number.
I tried something like this:
import re as regex
#result = regex.match(', (.*)\n', string)
result = re.search(', (.*)\\n', string)
print(result.group(1))
This is not working finde. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
>Solution :
You could do something like this:
reg=r'(\d+\.\d+), (\d+\.\d+).*'
if(re.search(reg, your_text)):
match = re.search(reg, your_text)
first_num = match.group(1)
second_num = match.group(2)
