title: Java: Remove numbers from string
body: <p>I have a string like <code>23.Piano+trompet</code>, and i wanted to remove the <code>23.</code> part from the string using this function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private String removeSignsFromName(String name) {
      name = name.replaceAll(" ", "");
      name = name.replaceAll(".", "");
  
      return name.replaceAll("\\^([0-9]+)", "");
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it doesn't do it. Also, there is no error in runtime.</p>
