They want me to count the number of integers that appear in the string, and return it? Or they want me to return the integers. E.g.) tasty44332 returns: 44332
or they want tast44332 to return: 5
import re
def first_number(string):
return(re.search(r'\d', string))

Treehouse Moderator 68,167 PointsHey Cory Rhodes, given an int
count and a str
string, return the search object if there are count number of integers within the string. So, numbers(4, “abcde1234”)
would return a valid search, but numbers(4, “abcde123”)
would not.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
