Java: removing numeric values from string

You can use:

firstname1 = firstname1.replaceAll("[0-9]","");

This will remove all numeric values from String firstName1.

    String firstname1 = "S1234am";
    firstname1 = firstname1.replaceAll("[0-9]","");
    System.out.println(firstname1);//Prints Sam

This will remove all digits:

firstname1 = firstname1.replaceAll("\\d","");
