python re.split function, how do I return the full character set?

Question

I'm trying to use a regex pattern split this string into chunks seperated by any character.

s = 'a12b56c1'
import re
print(re.split('[a-zA-Z]',s))

This prints ['', '12', '56', '1']

How do I use the split function to have it output the whole string, delimited by any character? IE ['a12', 'b56', 'c1']

Answer 1

Try to use re.findall instead re.split ( regex101 ):

s = "a12b56c1"
import re

print(re.findall(r"\D+\d+", s))

Prints:

['a12', 'b56', 'c1']
