Question

37

\"The time i

Answer 1

The regex you are looking for is [0-9]+ or \d+. You should then get multiple matches for the sentence.

Answer 2

The regex itself is as simple as \d+, but you will also need to set a flag to match it globally, the syntax of which depends on the programming language or software you are using.

EDIT: Some examples:

Python:

import re
re.findall(r"\d+", my_string)

JavaScript:

myString.match(/\d+/g)

Answer 3

Split your string by [^0-9]+.

JAVA: String[] numbers = "yourString".split("[^0-9]+");

JavaScript: var numbers = "yourString".split(/[^0-9]+/);

PHP: $numbers = preg_split("/[^0-9]+/", "yourString");
