I will get the Value £232.69 from the above code. Now I want to split the separate the Value without that Currency Symbol. Like 232.69. So that I can compare this value with another one.

Answer 1

This will give you any first number (integer or not, matching expression someNumbers + optional(dot + someNumbers)) occuring in string s as a string:

    String s = "&21.37";
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[^0-9]*([0-9]+(\\.[0-9]*)?)");
    Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
    m.matches();
    String s = m.group(1)

You can then extract it as follows:

    Double d = Double.valueOf(s)

Here is updated code: , @kripindas

String s = "&1,221.37";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[^0-9]*([0-9]*,?([0-9]+(\\.[0-9]*))?)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
m.matches();
String s_num = m.group(1).replace(",", "");
System.out.println(s_num);
Double d_num = Double.valueOf(s_num);
System.out.println(d_num);

Note that this will match:

"&1,234.56",
"$123,4.5678",
"JP234,123.12"
and convert them to (correspondingly):
1234.56
1234.5678
234123.12
