How to count digits, letters, spaces for a string in Python?

Question

I am trying to make a function to detect how many digits, letter, spaces, and others for a string.

Here\'s what I have so far:

def count(x):
    leng         


        

Answer 1

Following code replaces any nun-numeric character with '', allowing you to count number of such characters with function len.

import re
len(re.sub("[^0-9]", "", my_string))

Alphabetical:

import re
len(re.sub("[^a-zA-Z]", "", my_string))
