Explain the Metacharacter "B" in Java Regular Expressions.
The subexpression/metacharacter “\B” matches the non-word boundaries.Example 1import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class RegexExample { public static void main( String args[] ) { String regex = "\Bcause"; Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter a string: "); String input = sc.nextLine(); Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regex); Matcher m = p.matcher(input); int count = 0; while(m.find()) { count ++; } System.out.println("Number of matches: "+count); } ...
Read MoreHow to match a character from given string including case using Java regex?
The java.util.regex package of java provides various classes to find particular patterns in character sequences. The pattern class of this package is a compiled representation of a regular expression.To match a specific character from the given input string −Get the input string.This compile() method of this class accepts a string value representing a regular expression and an integer value representing a flag returns a Pattern object. Compile the regular expression bypassing −The pattern matcher “[ ]” with required character in it ex: “[t]”.The flag CASE_INSENSITIVE to ignore case.The matcher() method of the Pattern class accepts an input string and returns ...

You can match non-digit character using the meta character "\D".Example 1import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading String from user System.out.println("Enter a String"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String input = sc.nextLine(); String regex = "\D"; //Compiling the regular expression Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex); //Retrieving the matcher object Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input); int count = 0; ...
Read MoreHow to match digits using Java Regular Expression (RegEx)
You can match digits in a given string using the meta character "\d" or by using the following expression : [0-9]Example 1import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading String from user System.out.println("Enter a String"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String input = sc.nextLine(); String regex = "\d"; //Compiling the regular expression Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex); //Retrieving the matcher object Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input); ...
Read MoreHow to match word characters using Java RegEx?
The English alphabet (both cases) and, digits (0 to 9) are considered as word characters. You can match them using the meta character “\w”.Example 1import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading String from user System.out.println("Enter a String"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String input = sc.nextLine(); String regex = "^\w{5}"; //Compiling the regular expression Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex); //Retrieving the matcher object ...
Read MoreHow to match one of the two given expressions using Java RegEx?
Using the or logical operator | of Java regular expressions you can match either of two given expressions.For example, if you need your regular expression should match more than one expression you can do so by separating the required expressions by “|”.Example 1import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading String from user System.out.println("Enter a String"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String input = sc.nextLine(); //Regular expression to match string that starts with hello or ...
Read MoreHow to match beginning of a particular string/line using Java RegEx
The meta character “^” matches the beginning of a particular string i.e. it matches the first character of the string. For example, The expression “^\d” matches the string/line starting with a digit.The expression “^[a-z]” matches the string/line starting with a lower case alphabet.Example 1import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading String from user System.out.println("Enter a String"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String input = sc.nextLine(); String regex = "^[^a-zA-Z0-9//s].*"; //Compiling the ...

The meta character “$” matches the end of a particular string i.e. it matches the last character of the string. For example, The expression “\d$” matches the string/line ending with a digit.The expression “[a-z]$” matches the string/line ending with a lower case alphabet.Example 1import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading String from user System.out.println("Enter a String"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String input = sc.nextLine(); String regex = ".*[^a-zA-Z0-9//s]$"; //Compiling the ...
Read MoreHow to match a fixed set of characters using Java RegEx
The character classes allow you to accept a single character from a fixed set of characters. For example, The expression “[tmp]” matches the characters t or, m or, p.The expression “[^tp]” matches the characters other than t or, p.Example 1import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading String from user System.out.println("Enter a String"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String input = sc.nextLine(); //Regular expression to match the characters t or, m or, p ...
