Splitting a string between letters and digits

Question

I have the following String:

String str = "123abc345def";

Now want to divide the above String as shown below, but somehow I am unable to perform this.

s[0] = "123";
s[1] = "abc";
s[2] = "345";
s[3] = "def";

Please help me out of these. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Maybe you can try splitting the String with (?<=\D)(?=\d)|(?<=\d)(?=\D).

You can use it as:

str.split("(?<=\\D)(?=\\d)|(?<=\\d)(?=\\D)");

This will compare the positions between a number and NaN be it any order and split the String accordingly.
