I have a function which extracts the company register number (German: handelsregisternummer
) from a given text. Although my regex for this particular problem matches the correct format ( please see demo ), I can not extract the correct company register number.
I want to extract HRB 142663 B
but I get HRB 142663
.
Most numbers are in the format HRB 123456
but sometimes there is the letter B
attached to the end.
import re
def get_handelsregisternummer(string, keyword):
# https://regex101.com/r/k6AGmq/10
reg_1 = fr'\b{keyword}[,:]?(?:[- ](?:Nr|Nummer)[.:]*)?\s?(\d+(?: \d+)*)(?: B)?'
match = re.compile(reg_1)
handelsregisternummer = match.findall(string) # list of matched words
if handelsregisternummer: # not empty
return handelsregisternummer[0]
else: # no match found
handelsregisternummer = ""
return handelsregisternummer
Example text scraped from website. Linebreaks make words attached to each other:
text_impressum = """"Berlin, HRB 142663 BVAT-ID.: DE283580648Tax Reference Number:"""
Apply function:
for keyword in ['HRB', 'HRA', 'HR B', 'HR A']:
handelsregisternummer = get_handelsregisternummer(text_impressum, keyword=keyword)
if handelsregisternummer: # if list is not empty anymore, then do...
handelsregisternummer = keyword + " " + handelsregisternummer
break
if not handelsregisternummer: # if list is empty
handelsregisternummer = 'not specified'
handelsregisternummer_dict = {'handelsregisternummer':handelsregisternummer}
Afterwards I get:
handelsregisternummer_dict ={'handelsregisternummer': 'HRB 142663'}
But I want this:
handelsregisternummer_dict ={'handelsregisternummer': 'HRB 142663 B'}
You need to use two capturing groups in the regex to capture the keyword and the number, and just match the rest:
reg_1 = fr'\b({keyword})[,:]?(?:[- ](?:Nr|Nummer)[.:]*)?\s?(\d+(?: \d+)*(?: B)?)'
# |_________| |___________________|
Then, you need to concatenate, join all the capturing groups matched and returned with findall
:
if handelsregisternummer: # if list is not empty anymore, then do...
handelsregisternummer = " ".join(handelsregisternummer)
break
