How can I parse an integer and the remaining string from my string?
<p>I have strings that look like this:</p>

<pre><code>1. abc
2. def
88. ghi
</code></pre>

<p>I'd like to be able to get the numbers from the strings and put it into a variable and then get the remainder of the string and put it into another variable. The number is always at the start of the string and there is a period following the number. Is there an easy way that I can parse the one string into a number and a string?</p>
