here is a simple function to seperate multiple words and numbers from a string of any length  the re method only seperates first two words and numbers  I think this will help everyone else in the future   def seperate string number string       previous character   string 0      groups          newword   string 0      for x  i in enumerate string 1             if i isalpha   and previous character isalpha                newword    i         elif i isnumeric   and previous character isnumeric                newword    i         else              groups append newword              newword   i          previous character   i          if x    len string  - 2              groups append newword              newword          return groups  print seperate string number  10in20ft10400bg      outputs     10    in    20    ft    10400    bg

This is a little longer  but more versatile for cases where there are multiple  randomly placed  numbers in the string  Also  it requires no imports  def getNumbers  input          Collect Info     compile    quot  quot      complete           for letter in input            If compiled string         if compile                If compiled and letter are same type  append letter             if compile isdigit      letter isdigit                    compile    letter                            If compiled and letter are different types  append compiled string  and begin with letter             else                  complete append  compile                   compile   letter                        If no compiled string  begin with letter         else              compile   letter                Append leftover compiled string     if compile          complete append  compile              Return numbers only     numbers     word for word in complete if word isdigit                  return numbers

without using regex  using isdigit   built-in function  only works if starting part is text and latter part is number  def text num split item       for index  letter in enumerate item  0           if letter isdigit                return  item  index  item index     print text num split  foobar12345      OUTPUT      foobar    12345
