在java中获取两个字符串之间的字符串，从前两行开始

Question

I need to get a string from file, between a starting and ending string, but also in the string returned, i need to have 2 lines before the starting string.

For example, below is my chunk of string where i need to find the line with starting with ":25:RO68BTRL04701202281399XX" and ending with "-}", but also return the 2 previous lines before the starting search string:

{1:F01BTRLRO22AXXX1111111111}{2:I940BTRLRO22XXXXN}{3:{108:047MSOG16103001F}}{4: <br />

My code in java is this (is working, just it's not returning what i want, meaning a string between startString minus 2 lines and endString):

 import java.io.File; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.util.Scanner; public class bt { public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO code application logic here File fileName = new File("bta.txt"); try { String startToken = ":25:RO68BTRL04701202281399XX"; String endToken = "-}"; boolean output = false; int nrLinie=0; Scanner scan = new Scanner(fileName); while (scan.hasNextLine()) { String line = scan.nextLine(); if (output==false && line.indexOf(startToken) > -1) { output = true; //line = line.substring(line.indexOf(startToken)+startToken.length()); line = line.substring(line.indexOf(startToken)+1,line.indexOf(endToken)+endToken.length()); } else if (output && line.indexOf(endToken) > -1) { //output = false; //System.out.println(line.substring(0, line.indexOf(endToken))); } if (output) { System.out.println(line); } } } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }

Thank you, as any help is trully appreciated.

This regex can do it. See regex101 for demo .

((?:[^\r\n]*\r?\n){2}):25:RO68BTRL04701202281399XX(.*?)-\}
