I have a text file that has lines with numbers occasionally appearing right before a person's name. For example:
COLLEGE:ENROLLMENT:COMPLETED EVALUATIONS:624309FUDD, ELMER where I want to search for the name "ELMER FUDD" and extract the number right in front of it "608309" when such a number appears but the length of the number is variable and using ?<= in a regular expression will only search for a fixed length. Any ideas appreciated! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
