I need a fast and efficient way to parse a combination string(digits + chars)
ex: s = "12ABA" or "1ACD" or "123CSD" etc I want to parse the the above string such that i can grab only the first digits and ignore the rest of the chacters, so if i have s = "12ABA" , parser(s) should give me "12" or "1" or "123". I can think of a quick dirty way by checking each element in the string and do a 'str.isdigit()' and stop once its not a digit, but appreciate any eligent way. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
