Question

Say I had a string that was either in the format $(Integer) - $(Integer) or $(Integer). What would be the easiest way to break these up and convert them to integer values? If the string is in the format $(Integer) - $(Integer) take the average of the two numbers.

Example string: $20 - $40 would be converted to 30 (This is a range)

Answer 1

>>> string = '$20 - $40'  #'$20' will also work
>>> x = re.findall(r'\$(\d+)', string)
>>> 1. * sum(map(int, x)) / len(x)
30.0 #convert to int if you want
