Here is some logic that separates alpha characters from numeric ones, hope it helps you.

 

String before = '123AbCgoya1Me';
String alpha = '';
String numeric = '';

List<String> chars = before.split('|');
for (String s : chars)
{
    if (s.isAlpha())
    {
        alpha += s;
    }
    else
    {
        numeric += s;
    }
}

system.debug(alpha);
system.debug(numeric);

String field1 = 'Test123';

String field2 = field1.replaceAll('[^0-9]', '');

Just missing one part

String field1 = 'Test123';
String field2 = field1.replaceAll('[^0-9]', '');

field1 = field1.replaceAll('[0-9]', '');

system.debug(field1);
system.debug(field2);

To remove all non-numeric characters from a string, such as a phone number, I use  
lead.Phone = lead.Phone != null ? lead.Phone.replaceAll('^\\D','') : null;

To Extract Numarics from String :
String str = '(667) 788  455435dsdsdasdasd 445345...4/6fsdsdds';
 str = str.replaceAll('\\D', '');
System.debug('Final integer  : '+str );
// output : 66778845543544534546
