[FIXED] Extracting text from OCR image file

Issue

I am trying to extract few fields from OCR image. I am using pytesseract to read OCR image file and this is working as expected.

Code :

import pytesseract
from PIL import Image
import re

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r"C:\Program Files\Tesseract- 
OCR\tesseract.exe"

value = Image.open("ocr.JPG")
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(value)
print(text)

Output :

ALS 1 Emergency Base Rate
Y A0427 RE ABC
Anbulance Mileage Charge

Y A0425 RE ABC
Disposable Supplies
Y A0398 RH ABC

184800230, x

Next, I have to extract A0427 and A0425 from the text.. but the problem is I am not loop through the whole line.. it's taking one character at a time and that's why my regular expression isn't working..

Code:

for line in text :
    print(line)
    x= re.findall(r'^A[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]', text)
    print(x)

Solution

Get rid of that for loop also, use only

x= re.findall(r'A[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]', text)

without any loop. ('remove ^ too')
