Reg Ex to find '+' or '-' sign in Python

Question

Row2 = re.findall(r'\d+(?:,\d+)*(?:\.\d+)?', str (table))

Hi all, this is my regular expression. I'm not sure how to alter it in order to also make it display the values that I have scraped with the + or - sign before the figures. For example, my output is '47.31' but its supposed to be '+47.31'.

Please help, thanks.

You could add [+-]? at the beginning of your regex to match those characters:

Row2 = re.findall(r'[+-]?\d+(?:,\d+)*(?:\.\d+)?', str (table))
