使用Java从单词列表中检索选定的字符串

Question

I would like to know are there any way to retrieve selected words from a string. Example I would like to retrieve the bold words from my textfile.

Below is the list of words which i would like to retrieve:

Item [ 00001 : Chemical Engineering by RC Lodeen : on loan to borrower 001: Mr X (41, NX4 4XZ)] borrowed by [ 001 : Mr X (41, NX4 4XZ)]; timestamp 1418119171904

I have tried searching on google but the solution which they provide didnt help me. Can anyone guide me on how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

You will need to define a set of criteria in order to determine which words you want to retrieve, such as "Retrieve all characters that follow a '[' symbol until a ':' is found". After you have defined such a set, use regular expressions to select your words.
