如何只使用java正则表达式匹配字母，匹配方法？

Question

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

class HowEasy {
    public boolean matches(String regex) {
        System.out.println(Pattern.matches(regex, "abcABC   "));
        return Pattern.matches(regex, "abcABC");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        HowEasy words = new HowEasy();
        words.matches("[a-zA-Z]");
    }
}

输出为False。 我哪里错了？ 此外，我想检查一个单词是否只包含字母，并且可能或可能不以一个句点结束。 这是什么样的正则表达式？

即“abc”“abc。” 有效但“abc ..”无效。

我可以使用indexOf()方法来解决它，但我想知道是否可以使用单个正则表达式。

Answer 1

"[a-zA-Z]"只匹配一个字符。 要匹配多个字符，请使用"[a-zA-Z]+" 。

由于点是任何角色的小丑，你必须掩盖它： "abc\\." 要使点可选，您需要一个问号： "abc\\.?"

如果在代码中将Pattern写为文字常量，则必须屏蔽反斜杠：

System.out.println ("abc".matches ("abc\\.?"));
System.out.println ("abc.".matches ("abc\\.?"));
System.out.println ("abc..".matches ("abc\\.?"));

结合两种模式：

System.out.println ("abc.".matches ("[a-zA-Z]+\\.?"));

而不是a-zA-Z，\\ w通常更合适，因为它捕获äöüßø等外来字符：

System.out.println ("abc.".matches ("\\w+\\.?"));   

Answer 2

[A-Za-z ]*匹配字母和空格。

Answer 3

matches方法执行匹配的整行，即它等同于find()和'^ abc $'。 所以，只需使用Pattern.compile("[a-zA-Z]").matcher(str).find()代替。 然后修复你的正则表达式。 正如@user未知提到的，你的正则表达式实际上只匹配一个字符。 你应该说[a-zA-Z]+

Answer 5

这里有三个问题：

1. 只需使用String.matches() - 如果API在那里，请使用它
2. 在java中，“匹配”意味着“匹配整个输入”，恕我直言，这是反直觉的，所以让你的方法的API通过让调用者考虑匹配部分输入来反映这一点，如你的例子所示
3. 你的正则表达式只匹配1个字符

我建议你使用这样的代码：

public boolean matches(String regex) {
    regex = "^.*" + regex + ".*$"; // pad with regex to allow partial matching
    System.out.println("abcABC   ".matches(regex));
    return "abcABC   ".matches(regex);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    HowEasy words = new HowEasy();
    words.matches("[a-zA-Z]+"); // added "+" (ie 1-to-n of) to character class
}
