If you're unable to come up with the regexes, why don't you fall back to
a simpler solution? For example, scanning the string until you find a digit?

Did not try it but "^XYZ \\d+ N TO \\d+$" is near to the final answer.

There are a lot of ways you could do this.

String text = "XYZ 34 N TO 763427894";
//
// split on whitespace character "\\s" or [ \t\n\x0B\f\r]
String values[] = text.split("\\s");
//
// or what ever numeric type you want
int number1 = Integer.parseInt(values[1]);
int number2 = Integer.parseInt(values[4]);

Or you could check for non-digit
//
// split on A non-digit: "\\D" or [^0-9]
String values[] = text.split("[^0-9]");

Thanks in Advance...
