Java searching float number in String

Question

let\'s say i have string like that:

eXamPLestring>1.67>>ReSTOfString

my task is to extract only 1.67 from string above.

Answer 1

You could try matching the digits using a regular expression

\\d+\\.\\d+

This could look something like

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\d+\\.\\d+");
Matcher m = p.matcher("eXamPLestring>1.67>>ReSTOfString");
while (m.find()) {
    Float.parseFloat(m.group());
}
