Recieving data from arduino

I am wondering if there's a way to use serial in processing to read both strings and integers and separate the strings from the integers.

Discriminating general String objects from meaningful numerical values is a question of parsing.
Java's got a method called Integer.parseInt(""). When it fails, it throws a NumberFormatException.
Thus we know the argument wasn't a valid numerical value, and gotta be treated as a String:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Integer.html#parseInt-java.lang.String-

Check out this example I've come up w/: <):)

// forum.processing.org/two/discussion/6380/recieving-data-from-arduino

final IntList ints = new IntList();
final StringList strs = new StringList();

final String[] elems = {
  "-5", "010", "1e3", "100.", "500", "Test"
};

for (String e: elems)  try {
  ints.append(Integer.parseInt(e));
}
catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
  strs.append(e);
}

println(ints);
println(strs);

exit();
