phenopacket_mapper.utils.parsing.parse_ordinal module

phenopacket_mapper.utils.parsing.parse_ordinal.parse_ordinal(field_name_str: str) → Tuple[str, str]

Parsing DataField.name string to separate strings containing the ordinal and the name respectively

This method is meant as part of reading in a DataModel from a file, where data model fields might have an ordinal attached to them (e.g., “1.1. Pseudonym”), which this method can then neatly separate into ordinal=”1.1.” and name=”Pseudonym”.

>>> parse_ordinal("1.1. Pseudonym")
('1.1', 'Pseudonym')

>>> parse_ordinal("1. Pseudonym")
('1', 'Pseudonym')

>>> parse_ordinal("I.a. Pseudonym")
('I.a', 'Pseudonym')

>>> parse_ordinal("ii. Pseudonym")
('ii', 'Pseudonym')

Parameters:

field_name_str – name of the field, containing an ordinal, to parse

Returns:

a tuple containing the ordinal and the name
