Question

I have got strings like:

BLAH00001

DIK-11

DIK-2

MAN5

so all the strings are a kind of (sequence any characters)+(sequence of numbers)

and i want something like this:

1

11

2

5

in order to get those integer values, i wanted to separate the char sequence and the number sequence an do something like Integer.parseInt(number_sequence)

Is there something that does this job?

greetings

Answer 1

String[] a ={"BLAH00001","DIK-11","DIK-2","MAN5"};
 for(String g:a)
  System.out.println(Integer.valueOf(g.split("^[A-Z]+\\-?")[1]));
