How to cut after a certain sequence of characters in python

Question

I want to take a string (Example: TestExample123) and cut off the numbers after a certain set of characters (Giving output 123) but am not aware of any way I could do this. Any help would be great, but do note I am fairly new to coding and as such may not be able to do insanely advanced stuff.

Thanks.

Maybe not the best way, but definitely a good start is trying to use RegEx.

import re

reg = "\d"

text = "TestExample123"
text_2 = "Test123Example123"

regexed_text = re.sub(reg, "", text))
regexed_text_2 = re.sub(reg, "", text_2))

This gives regexed_text = "TestExample" and also regexed_text_2 = "TestExample"

re.sub(reg, "", text) substitutes all of the reg regex matching elements with empty ( "" ) in the given input string variable text

\\d means any numeric digit
