java - Extract alphabets, space and comma from string in android -

i have string mixed numbers , alphabets below, doing following replacement

string fullstring = "08094 williamstown, new jersey";   string extractedstring = fullstring .replaceall("[^a-z^a-z]", "");

the result getting : williamstownnewjersey
want : williamstown, new jersey

how can ?
thank you.

your regex checks non-alphabets includes comma , spaces.

for case can try

string extractedstring = fullstring .replaceall("\\d", "").trim();

string extractedstring = fullstring .replaceall("[0-9]", "").trim();
