正则表达式小写字母后跟一个数字

Question

I'm trying to get the hang of regular expression. I'm scanning through an xml file and I want to do is find any word starting with a lowercase letter fallowed by a number eg c1234 I assume it's something like [az 0-9] but it's finding single characters instead of a whole word. Any ideas on how to do this would really be appreciated.

Answer 1

[az]\\d+ will work just fine.

It looks for any lowercase letter followed by any amount of digits.

Answer 2

About regex you can read here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/az24scfc(v=vs.110).aspx

test your regex you can here: http://www.regexlib.com/RETester.aspx

I think, you help this construction: \\b[az]\\d+
