Help changing a string.

[Mage1989]

I am writing a program that changes ascii input to text. That itself is not hard. My problem is this, the format for the ascci input is rather weird.

42$28$50$65$79$62$77$37$56$

Now, I can put the string into a list, and have it ignore the special characters. However, It breaks up the numbers like this:

[4,2,2,8,5,0,6,5,7,9,6,2,7,7,3,7,5,6]

Is there a way to change the input string into a list that is formatted like this?:

[42,28,50,65,79,62,77,37,56]

In other words, keeping the original format, while ignoring the special characters.

>>> s = '42$28$50$65$79$62$77$37$56$'
>>> s.split('$')
['42', '28', '50', '65', '79', '62', '77', '37', '56', '']
>>> s.strip('$').split('$')
['42', '28', '50', '65', '79', '62', '77', '37', '56']
>>> [i for i in s.split('$') if i]

Thanks, I actually figured it out right before reading this. Found a new problem lol.

Here is the code I am using:

import os
import string
string = raw_input('Text to decode: ')
shift = raw_input('Shift is: ')
string = string.split('%')
string = string[0:-1]
shift = int(shift)
x = -1
x = int(x)
shift = shift * x
newlist = []
newlist2 = []
for each in string:
    each = int(each)
    each = each + shift
    newlist.append(each)
for chara in newlist:
    chara = chr(chara)
    newlist2.append(chara)
print newlist2
 

This only works if '$' is used to separate the ascii.
I tried:

bad = string.letters + '_' + '-' + '[' + ']' + '{' + '}' + '"' + ':' + ';' + '<' + '>' + '?' + '/' + '!' + '@' + '#' + '$' + '%' + '^' + '&' + '*' + '(' + ')'
string = string.split(bad)

However, that didn't work. Is there away to remove everything except integers from the string?

I really do appreciate your help. Thank you.

Assuming you want to remove the non-digit characters from the string:

import re
import string
 
patt = re.compile(r'\d+')
 
s = '42$28$50$65$79$62$77$37$56$'
s1 = ''.join(patt.findall(s))
print '%s -----> %s' % (s, s1)
 
s2 = ''.join([i for i in s if i in string.digits])
print s2

Output:

>>> 42$28$50$65$79$62$77$37$56$ -----> 422850657962773756
422850657962773756
