java - Getting a double out of a string

Question

i have a string containing the following: "Did It Your Way, 11.95 The History of Scotland, 14.50, Learn Calculus in One Day, 29.95" is there any way to get the doubles from this string?

Answer 1

Use regular expressions to extract doubles, then Double.parseDouble() to parse:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\d+(?:\.\d+))");
Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
while(m.find()) {
    double d = Double.parseDouble(m.group(1));
    System.out.println(d);
}
