Prerequisites: Regular Expression in Python

Given a string. The task is to count the number of Uppercase, Lowercase, special character and numeric values present in the string using Regular expression in Python.

Examples: 

Input : 
"ThisIsGeeksforGeeks!, 123" 
Output :
No. of uppercase characters = 4
No. of lowercase characters = 15
No. of numerical characters = 3
No. of special characters = 2

Python program to Count Uppercase, Lowercase, special character and numeric values using Regex

Example 1:

The re.findall(pattern, string, flags=0) method can be used to find all non-overlapping matches of a pattern in the string. The return value is a list of strings.
Below is the implementation. 
 

Python3




import re
 
 
string = "ThisIsGeeksforGeeks !, 123"
 
# Creating separate lists using
# the re.findall() method.
uppercase_characters = re.findall(r"[A-Z]", string)
lowercase_characters = re.findall(r"[a-z]", string)
numerical_characters = re.findall(r"[0-9]", string)
special_characters = re.findall(r"[, .!?]", string)
 
print("The no. of uppercase characters is", len(uppercase_characters))
print("The no. of lowercase characters is", len(lowercase_characters))
print("The no. of numerical characters is", len(numerical_characters))
print("The no. of special characters is", len(special_characters))
 






                        










Output:


The no. of uppercase characters is 4
The no. of lowercase characters is 15
The no. of numerical characters is 3
The no. of special characters is 4



Time complexity :  O(n)


Space Complexity : O(n)


Example 2:




Python3














                                    




                                    

                                    




                                    




                                    

                                    

                                    
                                




















import re


 


def count_characters(input_string):


    uppercase_count = len(re.findall(r'[A-Z]', input_string))


    lowercase_count = len(re.findall(r'[a-z]', input_string))


    special_char_count = len(re.findall(r'[!@#$%^&*()_+{}\[\]:;<>,.?\\/-]', input_string))


    numeric_count = len(re.findall(r'[0-9]', input_string))


     


    return uppercase_count, lowercase_count, special_char_count, numeric_count


 


test_string = "Hello World! 123"


uppercase, lowercase, special_chars, numeric = count_characters(test_string)


 


print("Uppercase count:", uppercase)


print("Lowercase count:", lowercase)


print("Special character count:", special_chars)


print("Numeric count:", numeric)



















                        







                        










Output:


Uppercase count: 2
Lowercase count: 8
Special character count: 1
Numeric count: 3
