Precipitation, share, grow, let yourself and others can gain something! 😄
One, foreword
Programming always pays off in practice!
Regular expressions are also called regular expressions. Regular Expression (often abbreviated to regex, regexp, or RE in code) is a term used in computer science. Regular expressions are often used to retrieve and replace text that conforms to a pattern (rule).
Regular engines can be divided into two main categories: DFA and NFA. Both engines have a long history (more than 20 years now) and there are many variations from both engines! POSIX was introduced to prevent unnecessary variations from continuing. In this way, the mainstream re engine can be divided into three categories: DFA, traditional NFA, and POSIX NFA.
Re is also a very interesting technology, but often do not know how to use these symbols in the actual use of programming, so summarized this article, convenient for all partners can be used as a tool article, convenient to deal with some need to use re technical content.
Second, the rules
1. Common symbols
- X x
- \ Backslash character
- \0n Character n with octal value 0 (0 <= n <= 7)
- \0nn Character with octal value 0nn (0 <= n <= 7)
- \0mnn Character with octal value 0 MNN (0 <= m <= 3, 0 <= n <= 7)
- \ XHH The character hh with the hexadecimal value 0x
- \uhhhh The character HHHH with a hexadecimal value of 0x
- \t 制表符 (‘\u0009’)
- \n Newline character (‘\u000A’)
- \r carriage return (‘\u000D’)
- \f page feed (‘\u000C’)
- \ A Alarm (Bell) symbol (‘\u0007’)

2. Alphabetic characters
- [ABC] a, B or C (simple class)
- [^ ABC] any character except a, B, or C (negative)
- [a-za-z] a to Z or a to Z, inclusive (range)
- [a-d[m-p]] a to D or m to p: [a-dm-p] (union)

- [a-z&&[^m-p]] a to z, not m to p: [a-lq-z] (minus)
3. Predefined characters

- X plus X, one or more times
- X{n} X, exactly n times
- X{n,} X, at least n times

9. We were Reluctant to do it
- X?? X, not once or not
- X*? X, zero or more times
- X+? X, one or more times
- X{n}? X, exactly n times
- X{n,}? X, at least n times

- X{n,m}+ X, at least n times, but no more than m times
11. Logical operators

- X | Y X or Y
- (X) X, as the capture group
12. The Back reference
- \n Any matching NTH capture group
Reference 13.
- \ Nothing, but references the following characters
- \Q Nothing, but references all characters up to \E
- \E Nothing, but ends the quote from \Q
14. Special construction (non-capture)
- (? :X) X, as a non-capture group
- (? Idmsux-idmsux) Nothing, but will match the flag I dmsux on-off
- (? Idmsux -idmsux:X) X, as a non-capture group with the given flag I dmsu X on-off (? =X) X, through zero width positive lookahead
- (? ! X) X, through negative lookahead of zero width
- (? <=X) X, through zero width positive lookbehind
- (?
- (? >X) X as a separate non-capture group

Matcher m = p.matcher("The 123-4536-8978 9-000");
System.out.println(m.matches());
m.reset();Matches (matches) matches (matches) matches (matches) matches (matches
System.out.println(m.find());
System.out.println(m.start() + "-" + m.end()); // Print the first position when you find it (you must find it to print)
System.out.println(m.find());
System.out.println(m.start() + "-" + m.end()); // Print the first position when you find it (you must find it to print)
System.out.println(m.find());
System.out.println(m.start() + "-" + m.end()); // Print the first position when you find it (you must find it to print)

Copy the code
The test results
false
true

2.5 Greedy match and ungreedy match
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(., 10} {3?) [0-9]. "");

while (m.find()) {
System.out.println(m.start() + "-" + m.end());
}
Copy the code
-
Results:
0-5 5-10 Process finished with exit code 0 Copy the code
-
Description:.{3,10} with no question mark is greedy match will accompany the longest, if {3,10}? Add? The number is the least number of lazy matches, so start with three. If (m.finish)(){m.start()+”-“+m.end()} then match the first one
2.6 Common Capture
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(". {3}");
Matcher m = p.matcher("ab4dd5");
while(m.find()){
System.out.println(m.group());
}
Copy the code
-
Results:
ab4 5-10 Process finished with exit code 0 Copy the code

Description: match three arbitrary characters at a time, output with m.group().
2.7 Non-capture group (? =a)
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("{3} (? =a)");
Matcher m = p.matcher("ab4add5");
while (m.find()) {
System.out.println("Can't be followed by an A:" + m.group());
}
Copy the code
- Results:
It cannot be followed by a: AB4
- Description: (? =a) this is a non-capture group, the last one is a and it doesn’t take out the A!! (? =a) This would be different if I wrote it out front
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(? ! a).{3}");
Matcher m = p.matcher("abbsab89");
while (m.find()) {
System.out.println("Can't have a in front of it:" + m.group());
}
Copy the code
- Results: BBS, B89, b89

2.8 Remove >< sign matching
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(? ! + (? >). = <)");

while (m.find()) {
System.out.println(m.group());
}
Copy the code
- Result: Little Fu Ge
- Description: Generally can match the content information inside the special string in the web page.
2.9 Forward Reference
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\d\\d)\\1");
Matcher m = p.matcher("1212");
System.out.println(m.matches());
Copy the code
- Results: true,
- Description: 1 is the forward reference, 12 is the first match, the next match 12 is the same as before, so it is true
Four,
Re includes many symbols, types, matching range, number of matches, matching principles and so on, such as greed, exclusion, forward reference and so on, these use methods are not difficult, as long as according to the standard of the re you can combine the string content information you want to match and intercept.
Five, series recommendation
- Hold the grass! You poisoned the code!
- Why do programmers build wheels and get promotions and pay raises?
- BATJTMD, large factory recruitment, are recruiting what kind of Java programmers?
- Work 3 years, see what data can monthly salary 30K?
- Math, how close is it to a programmer?
