How to only get text or numbers from element

Question

I want to only get text from the element and then only to get numbers from that element.

global textelement
    textelement = (WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='text-nowrap text-truncate']")))).text

The text I get looks something like this

U(4) Leiknir

I want one variable to only contain text from the element and one variable to only contain numbers from that text so the output looks like this :

Text only

U Leiknir

and

Numbers only

Is it possible to do this?

Yes, You can do this by using regex and filter function like this.

import re
def filter_str(s):
    res_num = [int(match) for match in re.findall(r"d+", s)]
    res_str = "".join(filter(lambda x: not x.isdigit(), s))
    
    return res_num, res_str

s = "U(4) Leiknir"
a, b = filter_str(s)
print("Numbers: ", a , "nStr: ", b)

Output:

Numbers:  [4] 
Str:  U() Leiknir

Yes you can do that by using regex.

Import re

textelement ="U(4) Leiknir"
number=re.findall(r'd+', textelement)[0]
print(number)
chars = " ".join(re.findall("[a-zA-Z]+", textelement))
print(chars)

output:
