You can subtract one range from other and use it as new range. You can achieve this by using two variants of character classes i.e. negation and intersection.For example the intersection of ranges [a-l] and [^e-h] gives you the characters a to l as rage subtracting the characters [e-h]Example Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class RegexExample1 {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);       System.out.println("Enter input text: ");       String input = sc.nextLine();       String regex = "[a-l&&[^e-h]]";       //Creating a ...

The character classes in Java regular expression is defined using the square brackets "[ ]", this subexpression matches a single character from the specified or, set of possible characters. For example the regular expression [abc] matches a single character a or, b or, c.The intersection variant of the character class allows you to match a character which is common in the ranges that have intersection relation between them.An intersection relation between ranges is defined using && i.e. the expression [a-z&&[r-u]] matches a single character from r to u.Example Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class RegexExample1 {    public ...

The java.util.regex.MatcheResult interface provides methods to retrieve the results of a match.You can get an object of this interface using the toMatchResult() method of the Matcher class. This method returns a MatchResult object which represents the match state of the current matcher.The group() method of this interface returns a string value representing the matched substring from the given input sequence, in the last match.Example Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.MatchResult; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class GroupExample {    public static void main( String args[] ) {       String regex = "(.*)(\d+)(.*)";       //Reading input from user   ...

In windows "\r" acts as the line separator. The regular expression "\r?" matches the line endings.The split() method of the String class accepts a value representing a regular expression and splits the current string into array of tokens (words), treating the string between the occurrence of two matches as one token.Therefore, if you want to split a string with line endings as delimiter, invoke the split() method on the input string by passing the above specified regular expression as a parameter.Example Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; public class RegexExample {    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.out.println("Enter your input ...
