i am trying to call a api from the output of a query , the output of the query is int , but when i call the query it returns something like [(12345,)], but i want only 12345 how to reconstruct the output

What I have tried:

query = "select some query limit 1"
   print (query)
   cursor.execute(query)
   contact = cursor.fetchall()
   print(contact)
   id = re.sub(r"[(,)]",r"",contact)
   print (111111111111111) --this is just a point to check the output
   print(id)

Based on what you share, it seems to be a valid output of your code. Like an array. You can always access them using index, try that.

If you are still looking for replacement/cleanup option, there would be various ways to do it. If your numbers are separated by ',' always then use split/replace:

Python

# str is string input that would be converted to int in the end
# with split get them separated
[int(n) for n in str.split(',') if n.isdigit()] 

# with replace, remove it
int(str.replace(',', ''))

If you want, you can always use Regular expressions though[^]:

Python

import rex
rex.sub("[0-9]+", "", str)
#OR
rex.sub(r',', "", str)
#OR
rex.sub(r'\D', "", str)

You can also use join/filter/translate type operations to clean up your string.

Use based on the situation and desired effect you need.
