python - Regex: get all numeric and special characters starting with specific letters, stop when space occurs after number

Question

I have this text example:

LALL - 4302 is broken, while LALL-4301 and LALL 3305 are being fixed.

I want to capture:

LALL - 4302, LALL-4301, LALL 3305

I see the pattern as it starts with "LALL" and captures the following numbers, special characters, and spaces, then stops once the number is followed by space.

How can I do it using RegEx?

Answer 1

You may try using re.findall:

inp = "LALL - 4302 is broken, while LALL-4301 and LALL 3305 are being fixed."
matches = re.findall(r'LALLs*-?s*S+', inp)
print(matches)

This prints:

['LALL - 4302', 'LALL-4301', 'LALL 3305']
