regex for String and Number

Hi,

Am trying to write a regular expression for a text which has both String and number... like abc1234, xyz987, gh1052 etc. And the string usually contains 2 or 3 characters.

What i need is two Strings one containing the text (abc, xyz, gh etc) and other containing number (1234, 987, 1052, etc.). Have written the code below. but doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

String query = "abc1052"; //Or query = "zyx900";

String regexp = "(.{3})(\\d*)|(.{2}(\\d*))";

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regexp);

Matcher match = pattern.matcher(query);

if(match.find()){

System.out.println("Count: " + match.groupCount());

for(int iter = 0; iter <= match.groupCount(); iter++){

System.out.println("match" + iter + ": " + match.group(iter));

}

} else {

System.out.println("No match!!!");

}
