It looks like you’re trying to create a feature (possibly a parser, tag extractor, data cleaner, or search filter) for a string like this: -ghosty Stickam 2crazy14oldchickz1- 32

import re def parse_ghosty_feature(input_str: str): # Remove leading/trailing spaces and hyphens cleaned = input_str.strip().strip('-') # Better: split by spaces, then detect parts parts = cleaned

"-ghosty Stickam 2crazy14oldchickz1- 32" # Better: split by spaces
