Python Regex instantly replace groups

by

Have a look at re.sub:

result = re.sub(r"(\d.*?)\s(\d.*?)", r"\1 \2", string1)

This is Python’s regex substitution (replace) function. The replacement string can be filled with so-called backreferences (backslash, group number) which are replaced with what was matched by the groups. Groups are counted the same as by the group(...) function, i.e. starting from 1, from left to right, by opening parentheses.
