python regex: get end digits from a string

Question

I am quite new to python and regex (regex newbie here), and I have the following simple string:

s=r\"\"\"99-my-name-is-John-Smith-6376827-%^-1-2-767980716\"\         


        

Answer 1

Your Regex should be (\d+)$.

• \d+ is used to match digit (one or more)
• $ is used to match at the end of string.

So, your code should be: -

>>> s = "99-my-name-is-John-Smith-6376827-%^-1-2-767980716"
>>> import re
>>> re.compile(r'(\d+)$').search(s).group(1)
'767980716'

And you don't need to use str function here, as s is already a string.
