Python regex to remove all words which contains number

Question

I am trying to make a Python regex which allows me to remove all worlds of a string containing a number.

For example:

in = \"ABCD abcd AB55 55CD A55D         


        

Answer 1

Do you need a regex? You can do something like

>>> words = "ABCD abcd AB55 55CD A55D 5555"
>>> ' '.join(s for s in words.split() if not any(c.isdigit() for c in s))
'ABCD abcd'

If you really want to use regex, you can try \w*\d\w*:

>>> re.sub(r'\w*\d\w*', '', words).strip()
'ABCD abcd'

Answer 2

Here's my approach:

>>> import re
>>> s = "ABCD abcd AB55 55CD A55D 5555"
>>> re.sub("\S*\d\S*", "", s).strip()
'ABCD abcd'
>>>
