I'm trying to improve my regex skills, so I have made a basic calculator to practice pattern matching. The user is prompted to enter two integer values into the console, separated by a comma, with no spaces. I'm not worried about the values being too large for int to handle, I just want to cover the case of user entering -0. Positive 0, and all other negative and positive values should be accepted.
A scanner object grabs the input from the user and stores it in a string variable. This variable is then passed to a method with a Pattern and Matcher that does the matching and returns a boolean of whether it matched or not.
String userInput = scanner.next();
//look for only integers, especially excluding -0
if(checkUserMathInputIsGood("REGEX", userInput))
{
int sum;
String[] twoNumbersToAdd = userInput.split(",");
sum = Integer.parseInt(twoNumbersToAdd[0]) + Integer.parseInt(twoNumbersToAdd[1]);
System.out.println(sum);
}
After hours of scouring stackoverflow, javadocs, etc., I've found some solutions which almost work.

Java regular expression for negative numbers?
The pattern example which begins with "T(blah blah)" didn't work at all, and I can't find a reference to what T is supposed to accomplish. I've come close with:
"-{0,1}(?!0)\\d+,-{0,1}(?!0)\\d+"
Breaking it down, this seems to say: allow a minus sign a minimum of 0 and maximum of 1 times. Do not allow 0 if the so-called "negative lookahead" for the minus sign is true. Then allow any integer value at least one integer long. However, this results in the regex rejecting 0 as well as -0.
Examples of input which should be accepted:
2,3
22,-4
-555,-9
0,88
0,0
Examples of input which should be rejected:
-0,9
432,-0
-0,-0
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
如果我正确理解了要求,那么它应该是"-?\\\\d+,-?\\\\d+"
^(?:(?:\+?\d+)|(?:-(?!0*,)\d+)),(?:(?:\+?\d+)|(?:-(?!0*$)\d+))$
Explanation:
^// match start of line or text
(?:// match either:
(?:// option 1:
\+? // a "+" if possible
\d+ // and any number of digits
)
|// or
(?:// option 2:
- // a "-" sign
(?!//negative lookahead assertion: do NOT match if next is...
0*,//...any number of zeroes and a comma
)
\d+//if we've made it this far, then we know this integer is NOT zero. Match any number of digits.
)
)
,// a comma.
(?:// this pattern is basically the same as the one for the first number.
(?:
\+?
\d+
)
|
(?:
-
(?!
0*$// except this matches the end of a line or text instead of a comma.
)
\d+
)
)
$// end of line or text.
