RegularExpression re = new RegularExpression(regex); if (re.matches(text)) { ... }

You can specify options to RegularExpression(
regex,
options)
or setPattern(
regex,
options)
.
This options parameter consists of the following characters.
"i"
"m"
"s"
"u"
"w"
","
"X"
match()
method does not do subsring matching
but entire string matching.
Differences from the Perl 5 regular expression
|
Meta characters are `. * + ? { [ ( ) | \ ^ $'.
This range matches the character.
This range matches a character which has a code point that is >= C1's code point and <= C2's code point. + *
...
These expressions specifies the same ranges as the following expressions.
Enumerated ranges are merged (union operation). [a-ec-z] is equivalent to [a-z]
Match
instance
after matches(String,Match)
.
The 0th group means whole of this regular expression.
The Nth gorup is the inside of the Nth left parenthesis.
For instance, a regular expression is " *([^<:]*) +<([^>]*)> *" and target text is "From: TAMURA Kent <kent@trl.ibm.co.jp>":
Match.getCapturedText(0)
:
" TAMURA Kent <kent@trl.ibm.co.jp>"
Match.getCapturedText(1)
: "TAMURA Kent"
Match.getCapturedText(2)
: "kent@trl.ibm.co.jp"
