get values from JTextFields input

Hi.
I have written small program that works with coordinates.
I want to use JTextField for insertion coords like this: "(x,y)".

So my first problem is how to get values x and y from string "(x,y)".
My first idea is to get rid of brackets and then split string with .split(',').
Is it good approach, or there is some better way to do it?

My second problem is how to make my input more flexible.
For example somethimes I'll have input: "(x, y)" or " ( x, y ) ", and I still want to get values from it.

Is it good to work with regular expressions in this case?

split is fine and using a regex to get the values is ok too.

PhHein thanks very much.

I solved the problem.
Here is my code:

Code:

---

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class GetCoordValues {
       
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                String coord = "(12  ,  14  )";
                String[] coords;
               
                coord = coord.substring(1, coord.length()-1);
                Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("[,\\s]+");
                coords = pattern.split(coord);
                for(String variable : coords)
                        System.out.println(variable);
                                       
        }
}

Uhm, you're welcome, but you solved it yourself indeed.
