Question

I scrape an stock price from an website and the output ist e.g. "12 EUR". How can i remove the EUR from the string inpython , so that i can work with just the number?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Use regex to remove anything that is not a number.

import re
stock = '12 EUR'
stock = re.sub('[^0-9]', '', stock)
