I am trying to find a regex that matches words that start with ch and end in jane. The program I am searching in is java-based, so that may be why none of the things I've tried so far worked for me??? I know that there are already threads with the same topic, but I couldn't resolve my problem so far.
I have tried so far:
/^ch\..*jane$/
^ch\..*jane$
\bch\.\w+jane\b
and some related to that (trial and error...) that do not give me any results at all.
There are two that work:
\bch.*jane\b
^ch(.*)jane$
but they give me more results than I want, ie, but a string of words where the first one starts in ch and the last one ends in jane in addition to single words staring with ch and ending in jane. I am looking for single words only!
Can any of you help me? Thanks!
Do you want beginning of the string or word boundary?
Word boundary you use \\bmyregex-word\\b
, there shall not be any spaces and ^my.*regex$
matches the entire string such that if the string dies not start with my
and ends with regex
, it will always fail to match
Now to find words
use: \\bch\\w*jane\\b
You could try the below regex to match the words which starts with ch
and ends with jane
,
(?=^ch.*)(?=.*jane$).*
