python字符串以更健壮的方式解析数字

Question

Got a string after scraping a website.

 '<p class="NewsItemContent" style="font-size: 18px;">;As of March 18, 1999, 
6 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, there are a total of 70;events and 16;planned  
in this area. This total does not include adjacent cities.</p>'

How could I parse out 70, 16. Just want a more robust way. Wording might change a little bit, but always a total of {};events and {};planned. Thanks.

Answer 1

Not a very clean solution but here we go:

import re

s = ('<p class="NewsItemContent" style="font-size: 18px;">;As of March 18, 1999, '
     '6 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, there are a total of 70;events and 16;planned  '
     'in this area. This total does not include adjacent cities.</p>')

s = s.split('a total of ')[1]  # split by 'a total of' to get the second part

print(re.findall('\d+', s)[:2])  # finding the first two digits

['70', '16']
