Parsing string in Python

Question

I have python string s that contains data structured in this way:

INFO: some text...
INFO: some text...
INFO: some text...
INFO: some text...
223A

I need to extract just number 223 from whole string and put it in another integer variable. How would I do that?

Answer 1

You can use that to eliminate non-numeric characters from a string

import re
re.sub("[^0-9]", "", string_to_be_parsed)
