Thanks very much - that's the level of knowledge of Python that I just don't have yet - everything I try to do seems to have a much easier way, that I haven't encountered yet :)Anthonyberet wrote:
Is there a string mething to return only the alpha characters of a
string?
eg 'The Beatles - help - 03 - Ticket to ride', would be 'TheBeatlesTickettoride'
If not then how best to approach this? I have some complicated plan to cut the string into individual characters and then concatenate a new string with the ones that return true with the .isalpha string method.
Is there an easier way?
The approach you are considering may be easier than you think:
filter(str.isalpha, 'The Beatles - help - 03 - Ticket to ride')
'TheBeatleshelpTickettoride'
I shall read up on the elements of your code to understand exactly what it is doing.
