slice - How would I print everything in a string up until the first number in python?

Question

I have an input file containing lines like the following:

"Kansas City Chiefs 42"

Each line contains a random number of spaces between the words and the numbers. I am trying to identify a way that I can slice the two values (word portion and number portion). My ideal output would be:

"Kansas City Chiefs"

"42"

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Checkout this regex:

import re

your_string = "Kansas City Chiefs 42"
items = re.split(r's+(?=d)|(?<=d)s+', your_string)

print(items)

you got:

['Kansas City Chiefs', '42']
