Need help with my code (regular expression)

[shailc]

Hi there,

I am new to the world of python, sorry for my primitive question!

Here is my code
import re
import collections

txt = “MCV L +67 83.0 - 101.0 -34 fL something”
result = re.findall(r"[-|+]?([0-9]*.[0-9]+|[0-9]+)", txt)
word = re.findall(r"\s(mm|milj./µL|g/dL|%|fL|pg|/µL|something)", txt)

def get_number_of_elements(list):
count = 0
for element in list:
count += 1
return count

count = get_number_of_elements(result)

for i in range (0,count):
print (result[i])

print(“Value is”,result[0])
print (“Range is”, result[1] + " - " + result[2],word[0])

Here is my question →
I was hoping result will give me +67 and -34 but it gives me 67, 34.
Although I have added optional + or - to be recognized, it never takes that into account.
What am I missing ? Please help!
Thanks in advance
