Split string and numbers with dashes in python

I have two lists chapter and verse

The text that I'm trying to add to these lists are as follows:

"الشورى22-23", "السجدة44-55"

translated into "Alshoura22-23", "Alsadjah44-55"

The ouput should be:

chapter = ["الشورى", "السجدة"]

verse = ["22-23", "44-55"]

I tried many methods such as regression and iterate through each characters but to no avail! Could you please help?

Thank you

If you want to print both ways, you can use a pattern with capture groups to match the allowed characters, and then add the right group to the right collection:

For the current example strings:

import re

lst = ["الشورى22-23", "السجدة44-55"]
pattern = r"([\u0600-\u06FF]+)(\d+-\d+)"
verse = []
chapter = []

for s in lst:
    m = re.match(pattern, s)
    if m:
        verse.append(m.group(1))
        chapter.append(m.group(2))

print(chapter)
print(verse)

Output

['22-23', '44-55']
['الشورى', 'السجدة']

For both combinations, check the capture group values:

import re

lst = ["الشورى22-23", "السجدة44-55", "11-22السجدة"]
pattern = r"([\u0600-\u06FF]+)(\d+-\d+)|(\d+-\d+)([\u0600-\u06FF]+)"
chapter = []
verse = []

for s in lst:
    for t in re.findall(pattern, s):
        chapter.append(t[1] if t[1] else t[2])
        verse.append(t[0] if t[0] else t[3])

print(chapter)
print(verse)

output

['22-23', '44-55', '11-22']
['الشورى', 'السجدة', 'السجدة']

Regular expressions provide a way to accomplish this goal.

data = ["الشورى22-23", "السجدة44-55"]
verse = [re.findall(r'\d+\-\d+', s)[0] for s in data]
# ['22-23', '44-55']
chapter = [data[i].replace(verse[i], '') for i in range(len(verse))]
# ['الشورى', 'السجدة']
