how to extract numeric values from input string in java

Question

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 548         


        

Answer 1

If you do not want to use regex,

String str = " abc d 1234567890pqr 54897";

char[] chars = new char[str.length()];

int i = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < str.length(); j++) {
    char c = str.charAt(j);
    if (Character.isDigit(c)) {
        chars[i++] = c;
        if (j != chars.length - 1)
            continue;
    }
    if (chars[0] == '\0')
        continue;
    String num = new String(chars).trim();
    System.out.println(num);
    chars = new char[str.length()];
    i = 0;

}

Output : 1234567890 54897
