I want to extract all three parts of the following string in Java
MS-1990-10
AZ
) Does anyone know how can I do that using Java's regular expressions?
You can do this using java's pattern matcher and group syntax:
Pattern datePatt = Pattern.compile("([A-Z]{2})-(\\d{4})-(\\d{2})");
Matcher m = datePatt.matcher("MS-1990-10");
if (m.matches()) {
String g1 = m.group(1);
String g2 = m.group(2);
String g3 = m.group(3);
}
This is a way to get all 3 parts with a regex:
public class Test {
public static void main(String... args) {
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("([A-Z]{2})-(\\d{4})-(\\d{2})");
Matcher m = p.matcher("MS-1990-10");
m.matches();
for (int i = 1; i <= m.groupCount(); i++)
System.out.println(m.group(i));
}
}
Use Matcher 's group so you can get the patterns that actually matched. In Matcher
, the matches inside parenthesis will be captured and can be retrieved via the group()
method. To use parenthesis without capturing the matches, use the non-capturing parenthesis (?:xxx)
.
See also Pattern .
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String[] lines = { "MS-1990-10", "AA-999-12332", "ZZ-001-000" };
for (String str : lines) {
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(parse(str)));
}
}
private static String[] parse(String str) {
String regex = "";
regex = regex + "([A-Z]{2})";
regex = regex + "[-]";
// regex = regex + "([^0][0-9]+)"; // any year, no leading zero
regex = regex + "([12]{1}[0-9]{3})"; // 1000 - 2999
regex = regex + "[-]";
regex = regex + "([0-9]+)";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(str);
if (!matcher.matches()) {
return null;
}
String[] tokens = new String[3];
tokens[0] = matcher.group(1);
tokens[1] = matcher.group(2);
tokens[2] = matcher.group(3);
return tokens;
}
String rule = "^[A-Z]{2}-[1-9][0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(rule);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(s);
regular matches year between 1000 ~ 9999, u can update as u really need.
