Separate Alphanumeric string from input box into 3 separate strings

Hi,

My idea is to check every characters of the whole string and divide them into letters and numbers
Here it is the script:

You can do it with strings directly:

a = 'PIW346'

numbers = ''
letters = ''

for x in range(len(a)):
	if a[x].isnumeric():
		numbers += a[x]
	elif a[x].isalpha():
		letters += a[x]
	elif a[x] == '.':
		bit_value = a[x+1]
		break


print numbers
print letters
print bit_value

or you can do it with lists:

a = 'M300.0'

numbers = []
letters = []

for x in range(len(a)):
	if a[x].isnumeric():
		numbers.append(a[x])
	elif a[x].isalpha():
		letters.append(a[x])
	elif a[x] == '.':
		bit_value = a[x+1]
		break


print numbers
print letters
print bit_value

I tested it with all the “possibilities” you gave us in the post and it worked all the time.

Hope this will help you

Cheers,
