As the title states, I’m trying to create (def) a function wherein I import re and then parse through a string (using Regular Expressions) to add the numbers up at the end in a list. I know the code works outside of the function I am trying to save. I’ve just never created a function this complex so I’m unsure of indentation usage or if it’s possible.

#create function to import the re lib and then parse through "fhand" after the file is opened by calling this function.

def Ptfs():
    import re
    count = 0
    total = list()
    for line in fhand:
        numbers = re.findall('[0-9]+' ,line) 
        for number in numbers :
            num = int(number)
            total.append(num)
            count = count + 1
print(sum(total), "There were", count,  "lines that were summed.")

fhand = open("file_name", 'r')
Ptfs()
