Escapes challenge 2

Now, write a function named numbers() that takes two arguments: a count as an integer and a string. Return an re.search for exactly count numbers in the string. Remember, you can multiply strings and integers to create your pattern.

escapes.py 
import re

def first_number(strF):
    return re.search('\d',strF)

def numbers(cnt, strn):
    re.search(r'\d' *cnt, strn)
