I am trying to parse a C language code in java and I encountered statements like
printf("hello world");
I was using Pattern.compile("printf/(/".*/"/)");
but was getting an error stating that
/( is not a valid escape sequence
Please give a way to tackle this kind of scenario.
To escape a character, you need to use backslash instead of forward slash. Since (
is a special meta character, you need to escape that also.
Pattern.compile("printf\\(\".*?\"\\);");
Example:
String value = "printf(\"hello world\");";
System.out.println(value.matches("printf\\(\".*?\"\\);"));
//=> true
