How can I check if a string contains (number)

Question

I need to test if a string contains brackets with a number in the middle

Fight Club (2008) -> true

Sick (Documentary 2008) -> false

I have this but i cant test it because I can;t compile. I get an error "Invalid escape sequence (valid ones are \\b \\t \\n \\f \\r \\" \\' \\ )"

if(title.matches("\\((\d)\\)")){

}

Answer 1

You can use:

if(title.matches(".*?\\(\\d+\\).*")){

}

Remember that String#matches expects to match complete input.
