How can I extract only the numeric values from the input string?
For example, the input string may be like this:
String str="abc d 1234567890pqr 54897";
I want the numeric values only i.e, "1234567890"
and "54897"
. All the alphabetic and special characters will be discarded.
The number from a string in javascript can be extracted into an array of numbers by using the match method. This function takes a regular expression as an argument and extracts the number from the string. Regular expression for extracting a number is (/(\d+)/).
String str=" abc d 1234567890pqr 54897";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\w+([0-9]+)\\w+([0-9]+)");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(str);
for(int i = 0 ; i < matcher.groupCount(); i++) {
matcher.find();
System.out.println(matcher.group());
}
You could use the .nextInt()
method from the Scanner
class:
Scans the next token of the input as an int.
Alternatively, you could also do something like so:
String str=" abc d 1234567890pqr 54897";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\d+)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
while(m.find())
{
System.out.println(m.group(1));
}
