regex get amount of numbers in string code example

Example 1: regex match any number of digits

For matching an integer number of one single char/digit, specify:
[0-9]
But for matching any number of more than one char/digit; add "+":
[0-9]+
Example for matching hour with minutes of HH:MM format in a file:
grep "[0-9]\+\:[0-9]\+" file.txt

Example 2: regex to get all numbers in a string

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class Just {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      String data = "abc12def334hjdsk7438dbds3y388";
      //Regular expression to digits
      String regex = "([0-9]+)";
      //Creating a pattern object
      Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
      //Creating a Matcher object
      Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(data);
      System.out.println("Digits in the given string are: ");
      while(matcher.find()) {
         System.out.print(matcher.group()+" ");
      }
   }
}
