Convert to int even with symbol occurring

Question

This is my code
import re
i=input("Enter text:")
ot=0
ctl=i.split()
print(ctl)
if re.findall(r"--\d",i):
ot=int(i)
print(ot)
What I need to do is that I want to convert to int even with this symbol occurring getting no errors. How can I do it ?

Answer 1

U14known ,
since the input is just a number, or a a number with 2 leading *HYPHEN MINUS*, i don't think that we need to use regex.
it could be done like:

U14known , Lochard ,
i have added also a version to the code in my first post that can handle multiple inputs of numbers.

Answer 4

U14known ,
pease make an input sample and what you are expecting as output.

Answer 5

U14known ,
the "--" that you have use are 2 *HYPHEN MINUS* (unicode id / ascii 45). is this what you have meant?

Answer 6

U14known ,
I improved your code a bit
I hope this is what you wanted
import re, string
letter=list(string.ascii_lowercase)
str_in = input()
cap = str_in[:2] == "--"
sp = int(re.findall(r"\d+",str_in)[0])-1
if cap: print(letter[sp].upper())
else: print(letter[sp])

Convert to int even with symbol occurring
This is my code
import re
import string
st=list(string.ascii_lowercase)
i=input("Enter text:")
ot=0
ctl=i.split()
print(ctl)
if re.findall(r"\--\d",i):
ot=int(i)
print(st[ot])
Input:12
Output:l

The output is a list of int though.

Answer 10

Thank you everyone for answering and helping. There's just one final issue
Try to write the code like this:
Input:12 --13
Output: l M
This should give me 2 letters .

Answer 11

Thank you all for helping.
Thank you Lochard. Your code worked

Answer 12

When I execute this code, because the -- is here the letter should be capital

Answer 13

Nope. I mean I've written number 12 as mentioned in the input
but added -- before it.
So the input now will be like this
Without --
input:12
Output:l
With --
input:--12
Output:L
