How do I detect if a string with whitespace contains a number in pandas?

Question

I'm trying to seperate a list of mailing addresses and names that are intertwined in a single column due to poor formating. I initially wanted to grab all of the entries that are alphanumeric so I can separate them however I'm having trouble with the .isalnum() function. My string is a mailing address so I can't remove all of the white space as it would ruin the formatting.

'123 main st'.isalnum()

doesn't work because of the white space and I can't quite figure out how to effectively check if this is correct.

`'123 main st'.replace(' ', '').isalnum()` or using a regex. — mozway, Dec 01 '22 at 05:58
