Sometimes, we can data in many forms and we desire to perform both conversions and extractions of certain specific parts of a whole. One such issue can be extracting a number from a string and extending this, sometimes it can be more than just an element string but a list of it. Let’s discuss certain ways in which this can be solved.
Method #1 : Using list comprehension + split()
This particular problem can be solved using the list comprehension function to extend the logic to all the items and split function performs the task of splitting and to fetch the target desired element.
# Python3 code to demonstrate # Extracting numbers from list of strings # using list comprehension + split() # initializing list test_list = ['Rs. 24', 'Rs. 18', 'Rs. 8', 'Rs. 21'] # printing original list print("The original list : " + str(test_list)) # using list comprehension + split() # Extracting numbers from list of strings res = [int(sub.split('.')[1]) for sub in test_list] # print result print("The list after Extracting numbers : " + str(res)) |
The original list : ['Rs. 24', 'Rs. 18', 'Rs. 8', 'Rs. 21'] The list after Extracting numbers : [24, 18, 8, 21]
Method #2 : Using join() + isnumeric() + list comprehension + map()
This method is preferred in the instances in which it is not predefined that the numbers will be ordered in a particular way i.e, this method gives the flexibility of getting the number from whichever position possible.
# Python3 code to demonstrate # Extracting numbers from list of strings # using join() + isnumeric() + list comprehension + map() # initializing list test_list = ['Rs. 24', 'Rs. 18', 'Rs. 8', 'Rs. 21'] # printing original list print("The original list : " + str(test_list)) # using join() + isnumeric() + list comprehension + map() # Extracting numbers from list of strings res = list(map(lambda sub:int(''.join( [ele for ele in sub if ele.isnumeric()])), test_list)) # print result print("The list after Extracting numbers : " + str(res)) |
The original list : ['Rs. 24', 'Rs. 18', 'Rs. 8', 'Rs. 21'] The list after Extracting numbers : [24, 18, 8, 21]
