Regex using Unicode values

Question

Hi,
I have the following javascript
function isArabicSymbols( objValue ) {
var validPattern = /[\u0621-\u064A]/;
if (!validPattern.test( objValue ))
return false;
return true;
I want to write the same code in java using java regex
public class TestChar
public static void main(String args[])
java.util.regex.Pattern p = java.util.regex.Pattern.compile("[\u0621-\u064A]");
java.util.regex.Matcher m = p.matcher("��������");
System.out.println ("Check : " + m.matches());
This doesn't seem to work. Could you please help me in writing similar function in java.
Thanks & Regards
Sandhya

This doesn't seem to work.Could you elaborate?
Tell me if I'm wrong, but it seems like your range goes from ARABIC LETTER HAMZA to ARABIC LETTER YEH. Is that what you really want?
And, as said in previous replies, your pattern means one character in the range (add a '+' if you want to match a sequence of at least one character.)
Example:java.util.regex.Pattern p = java.util.regex.Pattern.compile("[\u0621-\u064A]+");
java.util.regex.Matcher m = p.matcher("��������");
System.out.println ("Check : " + m.matches());
m = p.matcher("\u0621\u0639");
System.out.println ("Check : " + m.matches());This will outputs:
Check : false
Check : true
