Gary D. Gregory commented on LANG-1658:
---------------------------------------

1: I really don't think https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1658 belongs in Commons Lang, maybe in Commons Number, or Commons Text, but not here. The best place to discuss this is on the dev mailing list.

> I have encountered in my work with a requirement to parse string and fetch all of the numbers from it (may be integers, may be float). I guess, perhaps it will be helpful for comunity. 
> Example of  use cases:
> 1) Input: " Duration : 12.3 days, 34minutes"
>     Output: [12.3, 34.0]
> 2) Input: " Weight is 76 and height is 180.2 cm"
>     Output : [76.0, 180.2]
> 3) Input: "Between 12.22 and 90"
>     Output: [12.22, 90]
> 4) Input: "First: 1289.0 Second: 9283.112 Third: 281"
>     Output : [1289.0, 9283.112, 281.0]
