add space between number and string python

Question

I want to add space between number and text

Example string: ABC24.00XYZ58.28PQR

output: ABC 24.00 XYZ 58.28 PQR

Please let me know the answers.

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

You could use re.sub back-referencing the captured group to add the spaces:

s = 'ABC24.00XYZ58.28PQR'

 re.sub('(\d+(\.\d+)?)', r' \1 ', s).strip()
# 'ABC 24.00 XYZ 58.28 PQR'

See demo

Answer 2

You can use re.split to separate the input string into a list of tokens. Then join all those tokens by a space.

import re

s = "ABC24.00XYZ58.28PQR"
split = [c for c in re.split(r'([-+]?\d*\.\d+|\d+)', s) if c]
result = " ".join(split)
print(result)

Output:

ABC 24.00 XYZ 58.28 PQR

The regex r'([-+]?\d*\.\d+|\d+)' should be fairly robust and detect floats of the type -12, +5.0 as well.

Answer 3

If there is no more requirements,you could use regex:

import re

s = "ABC24.00XYZ58.28PQR"
s = re.sub("[A-Za-z]+",lambda group:" "+group[0]+" ",s)
print(s.strip())

Answer 4

Concatenate string and converted number to string type:

print ("AB" + " "+ str(34)) //or
print ("AB " + str(34))

If you want to add spaces in string use Regex refer: python regex add space whenever a number is adjacent to a non-number
