Hi, Question, There is list A, containing text. There is List B, with Letter combinations. IF there is a text combination present in list A which is also present in list B I would like to replace the the text in A with the corresponding index B. So for example; FD → 0 FC → 1 C → 6 FA → 3 G…

Ehm… 4 isn’t a character in the set [A-Z']…

Sorry 1 more specific thing. Would it also be Possible to requognize text fragments including a '. so e.g. List A A’,B BB to A List B A = 0 A’ = 1 B = 2 BB =3 Wanted result; 1,2 3 to 0 Thanks again! :slight_smile:

From the regexp page I linked you to you may have learned that [ and ] define a set of characters. You have currently [A-Z] as character set. To include ' in the set you… guess… correct. Add ' to the set: [A-Z']. Another Python specific ReGexp howto: https://docs.python.org/2/howto/regex.html#reg…

"[A-Z']+" and must use " instead of ' re.sub(r"[A-Z']+", lambda m: replacements[m.group()], t)

Hi Thank again, I am probably doing something wrong, but I still cant find it :sweat_smile: [image] [image] 2020-09-27 Find text item and index v3.gh (7.5 KB) Any idea? Thanks

Thank again, I did, but strangly it returns the wrong numer… It should be 3 [image] [image] any idea? 2020-09-27 Find text item and index v4.gh (8.1 KB)

In the file you attached the To translate component contains only three 4's, so the outcome is as expected. It’ll work when you se correct data…

Thank, but 4 is the ‘third’ item. This means 4 would have to be replaced by a 3. (present in the replace item). any idea?

ahh offcourse :sweat_smile:! thats it thanks! with addig 0-9 it works. Thanks for your help! :+1: :+1:
