Python regex does not recognise text

Question

I wrote a regex that should recognise string: number. I do not get any errors but I get only string: without number

There a couple of variations of word that should represent string and number should be integer from 7 do 9 digits.

import re


text = 'Center Postfach 2250 Kundennummer: 90289963 CH-4002 Basel Frau Re'

regex = r"(kundennummer|kundennummer.|kundennummer:|numéro d'abonné||Kunden Nr.|No de client:)\s\d{7,9}"


gpnumber_list = re.findall(regex, text, re.IGNORECASE)
print(gpnumber_list) #['Kundennummer:']

Expected result:

Kundennummer: 90289963

You need to add another capturing group for the number.

regex = r"(kundennummer|kundennummer.|kundennummer:|numéro d'abonné||Kunden Nr.|No de client:)\s(\d{7,9})"

Notice parentheses around \d{7,9}.

To get a list of strings, as pointed out in the comment, you can simply join the matched groups

[" ".join(item) for item in gpnumber_list]

It works but it returns tuple inside of the list, is there a way to return string in list?

You mean like "Kundennummer: 90289963"?
