Replace Letters with numbers, but keep numbers

[ruud.vanknippenberg (RV)]

Hi,

Question;

I would like to ‘Translate’ all Letter characters to numbers, like;

A = 0
B = 1
C = 2
etc

But, If the input is/are already a number --> simply keep this number.
0 = 0
1 = 1
2 = 2

etc.

I have found a python component which ‘Translates’ the Letters into numbers correctly.
However, when I input an number There is an error.

Unfortunately I am not an python expert.
Any suggestion on how this could be done in python (e.g. using a try except statement)?

If you need it, force the input to be upper case and fill the ABC list.

Hi @ruud.vanknippenberg,

With a small change, your Python will work:
