Question: I have a column of data in excel that appears as follows:

```
aast<space>1<space>
qusw<space>3<space>
umw<space>18<space>
arst<space>50<space>

```

I will like to remove the numbers to have just the following:

```
aast
qusw
umw
arst

```

I tried regexp in both excel and notepad2++ to get this done without any success using the following:

```
^\s+[09]\s+$

```

Can someone help please? Thanks

Answer: 
Instead remove what you don't need. Replace

```
[0-9 ]*

```

with nothing.
try this:

```
 String regex = "[^\\s0-9\\<\\>\\s]";

```
