Get int from String, also containing letters, in Java

Replace all non-digit with blank: the remaining string contains only digits.

Integer.parseInt(s.replaceAll("[\\D]", ""))

This will also remove non-digits inbetween digits, so "x1x1x" becomes 11.

If you need to confirm that the string consists of a sequence of digits (at least one) possibly followed a letter, then use this:

s.matches("[\\d]+[A-Za-z]?")

The NumberFormat class will only parse the string until it reaches a non-parseable character:

((Number)NumberFormat.getInstance().parse("123e")).intValue()

will hence return 123.

You can also use Scanner :

Scanner s = new Scanner(MyString);
s.nextInt();

Unless you're talking about base 16 numbers (for which there's a method to parse as Hex), you need to explicitly separate out the part that you are interested in, and then convert it. After all, what would be the semantics of something like 23e44e11d in base 10?

Regular expressions could do the trick if you know for sure that you only have one number. Java has a built in regular expression parser.

If, on the other hands, your goal is to concatenate all the digits and dump the alphas, then that is fairly straightforward to do by iterating character by character to build a string with StringBuilder, and then parsing that one.
