Question

how can I get the index of the first digit in the string?

Answer 1

Use re.search():

>>> import re
>>> s1 = "thishasadigit4here"
>>> m = re.search(r"\d", s1)
>>> if m:
...     print("Digit found at position", m.start())
... else:
...     print("No digit in that string")
... 
Digit found at position 13
