Question

I’m looking to split a string using Java if it contains a digit or underscore – but I want to include the digit in the result – is this possible?

Eg.

“Linux_version”
“Linux3.1.2.x”

I want to split strings like these to get either “version” if it contains an underscore, or the digits to the end of the string if it contains a digit – e.g. from the second string above – I want “3.1.2.x”

Any help is much appreciated!

Answer 1

expectedString = yourString.replaceAll("^[^_0-9]+_?","");

If you just want to remove Linux or Linux_, try this:

expectedString = yourString.replaceAll("(?i)^linux_?","")
