🏷️ Labels: Python, Regex, Data Processing, Phone Number Extraction
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The session aimed to implement a regex-based solution for extracting phone numbers from text files in Python, focusing on Argentine numbers.
Key Activities
- Developed a regex pattern to extract phone numbers, accommodating various formats and separators.
- Implemented a Python script to read text files and apply the regex pattern for phone number extraction.
- Addressed potential file handling errors, including file not found scenarios, by providing error handling mechanisms.
Achievements
- Successfully extracted phone numbers using the developed regex pattern.
- Created a robust Python script capable of handling different phone number formats and file reading errors.
Pending Tasks
- Further testing with diverse text samples to ensure regex pattern robustness.
- Integration of the script into a larger data processing pipeline if needed.
