Python regex to remove two digit number in between strings

Question

I have a String input and I need to remove two digit numbers from the string, wherever it appears.

Example:

str = "abcdef12efgh abc12 abc12345defg 12 12abc abc123"

The required output should be:

abcdefefgh abc abc12345defg abc abc123

I am able to remove the two digits prefixed/suffixed by '<space>', but not 'abcdef12efgh'.

Is there a regex for doing this? Or should I iterate through the string and remove the two digit numbers checking if the string has non-numeric character before/after it.

This might work. (?<!\d)\d{2}(?!\d)
