Hi,

I have this code:

cl = re.findall(r'[claim number]+[0-9]+', claim_num_50)

It gives me back a list

Output:
[' 19', ' 0333', ' number 63108316972', ' claim number 193137164', ' 21', ' 871', ' 1291', ' 86', ' 670', ' 2294', ' c 83', ' 546']

But I only want Claim Number from the output, how do I extract it?

Quote:'claim number 193137164'

I have tried

 cl2 = ''.join(cl)
    cl3 = cl2.split('claim',1)[1][0:30]
    print(cl3)

Output

Output:
number 193137164 21 871 1291

But I think it's a long way and doesn't really give me what I want.

Post example of input text before messing with it.

Try this:
r'claim number \d{9}'

\d{9} == exact 9 numbers

To allow a range, you can use a comma:
\d{4,9} == 4-9 numbers

Thank you, it worked

What if I want to any number after a word claim that's \d{9}?
