How to remove all digits after the last string

Question

I would like to remove all the digits from the end of: "Car 7 5 8 7 4". How can I achieve it using regex or other approaches? I tried following but it only deletes 1 digit:

re.sub(r'\s*\d+$', '', text)

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use

re.sub(r'\s*\d[\d\s]*$', '', text)

See the regex demo .

Details :

• \s* - zero or more whitespaces
• \d - a digit
• [\d\s]* - zero or more digits/whitespaces
• $ - end of string.

Answer 2

You could use rstrip :

text.rstrip(' 0123456789')
