telethon split Message get number from string

Question

I am using telethon in python. When I write .set 14 in Telegram, I want to receive the number 14 and define it as a variable.

@client.on(telethon.events.NewMessage(outgoing=True))
async def outgoing(m):
    global ss
    if m.text==".set":
        ss=[int(s) for s in m.split() if s.isdigit()]

But when I test it, I get the following error

AttributeError: 'Message' object has no attribute 'split'

Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

That error message means that the m variable is a Message object and the Message object doesn't have a split method. Check out the API for the Message object here.

If you are trying to access the string of the message you need to use the text or raw-text attributes.

ss=[int(s) for s in m.text.split() if s.isdigit()]

you will also want to change the if m.text=='.set': because right now it only executes the list comprehension if it is exactly '.set' which means there will never be any numbers in the text string.
