以 # @ 开头的字符串模式，可以包含下划线和减号

Question

I try to make a string pattern that can contain UTF-8 characters (öäå, etc) and match the following criteria in Java (1.7);

• Must start with # or @
• Must be lower-case
• Can contain - or _ (minus and underscore), no other special char
• Can contain digits (0-9)
• Min 3 and maximum 15 characters long

What I have at the moment that works but are missing many of the criteria.

"#\\p{javaLowerCase}+"

I don't know how to complete and add the rest of the criteria. How would a regex expression look like that can accommodate the criteria I have?

Answer 1

This translates into a regex in a relatively simple way:

"[#@][\\p{javaLowerCase}\\d_-]{2,14}"

This translates the "Min 3 and maximum 15 characters" inclusive of the # or @ at the beginning. If these should not be counted, change the suffix to {3,15} .
