Following example demonstrates how to reset the pattern of a regular expression by using Pattern.compile() of Pattern class and m.find() method of Matcher class.
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class Resetting {
public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception {
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("[frb][aiu][gx]").
matcher("fix the rug with bags");
while (m.find())
System.out.println(m.group());
m.reset("fix the rig with rags");
while (m.find())
System.out.println(m.group());
}
}
