Thanks,
This email of Peter's is what I was referring to as regex. The re
module is for processing regular expressions. You'll have to go to
someone else for help in it, but I can point out that you can only
process one string with that line. You're handing it a whole list.
So something like:
for item in items:
parts = re.split(.....
print (repr(parts))
might show you what it's doing. I suspect it'll give you a tuple with
the numeric part first, and the non-numeric part second.
