How to count the number of letters in a string without the spaces?

Question

This is my solution resulting in an error. Returns 0

PS: I\'d still love a fix to my code :)

from collections import Counter
import          


        

Answer 1

Counting number of letters in a string using regex.

import re
s = 'The grey old fox is an idiot'
count = len(re.findall('[a-zA-Z]',s))
