How to extract numbers from a string in Python?

Question

I would extract all the numbers contained in a string. Which is the better suited for the purpose, regular expressions or the isdigit() method?

Example:

Answer 1

Using Regex below is the way

lines = "hello 12 hi 89"
import re
output = []
#repl_str = re.compile('\d+.?\d*')
repl_str = re.compile('^\d+$')
#t = r'\d+.?\d*'
line = lines.split()
for word in line:
        match = re.search(repl_str, word)
        if match:
            output.append(float(match.group()))
print (output)

with findall re.findall(r'\d+', "hello 12 hi 89")

['12', '89']

re.findall(r'\b\d+\b', "hello 12 hi 89 33F AC 777")

['12', '89', '777']
