Split a String into a String and an int in Java [duplicate]

Question

For a string containing multiple characters in the beginning and multiple numeric at the end, how to separate the string in two parts, first part to be stored as a String and the second part to be stored as an int.

The Strings are like DRR2110012, SRR211001, ABCDEFG1, and i want to separate the ASCII part and store it in another String variable and the digits stored in another int variable for each string using Java.

I know I can split a string like this: array = "1,2,3,4".split(','); But this doesn't help since I don't have a separator.

You need to use split and then cast the part you want to integer. — Sadiq Ali

You can split using regex in the following way.

String str = "DRR2110012";
String[] part = str.split("(?<=\\D)(?=\\d)");
System.out.println(part[0]);
System.out.println(part[1]);

If a string like "ABC123DCE" then this regex will not work.
