I am not sure that will work very well with Unicode numbers. I would assume (you know what they say about assuming) that str.isdigit() works better with international characters/numbers. >>> '1'.isdigit() True >>> '23'.isdigit() True >>> '23a'.isdigit() False for ch in text: if ch.isdigit(): # do something > > > If you want to use the offset for any reason use enumerate:- > > for i, ch in enumerate(text): > etc. > > -- > Cheers. > > Mark Lawrence.
