Find the index of the first digit in a string

Question

I have a string like

\"xdtwkeltjwlkejt7wthwk89lk\"

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

Answer 1

I'm sure there are multiple solutions, but using regular expressions you can do this:

>>> import re
>>> match = re.search("\d", "xdtwkeltjwlkejt7wthwk89lk")
>>> match.start(0)
