How to remove numeric values from a string:

to do this it will be enough

str.replaceAll("[^A-Za-z]","");

but what if your string contain characters like:

String str = "stackoverflow elenasys +34668555555 # Пивоварова Пивоварова հայեր հայեր አማሪኮ     አማሪኮ kiểm tra kiểmtra ตรวจสอบ ตรวจสอบ التحقق من التحقق من";

most of the characters will be removed too, so this is a better option:

str = str.replaceAll("[\\d.]", "");

to remove all numeric values and get as result:

stackoverflow elenasys + # Пивоварова Пивоварова հայեր հայեր አማሪኮ     አማሪኮ kiểm tra kiểmtra ตรวจสอบ ตรวจสอบ التحقق من التحقق من
