What is the regular expression for "__" ?
I just read through String and Pattern API, can't figure it out.
I want to go:
String.replaceFirst("__", "_");
i.e., replace the first 'double under-score' with a single underscore.
But it "__" is now a regular expression. Please help ! Thanks.
My mistake was I though it would change the
string...
text.replace(...)
should be
text = text.replace(...)A frequent mistake. I didn't notice, since I was focused on the regex aspect of the question.

What is the regular expression for the end of a story?
Forgive me if this is wrong forum for asking this, but I'm trying to use the Find command using GREP and I need to know the regular expression for the end of a story. (Or, the last character of a story.) Thanks in advance.
I'd try search for .\z (that's a dot in front) which ought to find the very last character in the story, and replace with $0 and your additional text.
You know you can use a keyboard shortcut to move your cursor to the end of any story, right? Ctrl + End on Windows, Cmd + End, I think, on Mac. Unless you want to do this to every single story in the document, I would think you might be just as well off to put your text on the clipboard, put the cursor in the story and hit the key combo followed by Ctrl/Cmd + V to paste. -
Hi All,
What should be the regular expression for string MT940_UB_*.txt and MT940_MB_*.txt to be used as filename inSFTP sender channel in PI 7.31 ??
If any one has any idea on this please let me know.
Thanks
NehaHi All,
None of the file names suggested is working.
I have tried using - MT940_MB_*\.txt , MT940_MB_*.*txt , MT940*.txt
None of them is able to pick this filename - MT940_MB_20142204060823_1.txt
Currently I am using generic regular expression which picks all .txt files. - ([^\s]+(\.(txt))$)

How to write the regular expression for Square brackets?
Hi,
I want regular expression for the [] Square brackets.
I have tried to insert in the below code but the expression not validate the [] square brackets.
If anyone knows please help me how to write the regular expression for [] Square brackets.
private static final Pattern DESC_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("({1}[a-zA-Z])" +"([a-zA-Z0-9\\s.,_():}{/&#-]+)$");Thanks
RaghavSince square brackets are meta characters in regex they need to be escaped when they need to be used as regular characters so prefix them with \\ (the escape character).

Regular Expression for a Person's Name
Hi,
I am using the org.apache.regexp package and trying to find the regular expression for a person's name. It allows only the alphabetic string.
I tried [a-zA-Z]+. But this also accepts the thing like "BUSH88", which is not what I want...
Can anybody help me figure this out?
Thanks in advance,

^[a-zA-Z]+$

How to get the meaning of the regular expression?
Hello All,
I want to know how to get the meaning of the regular expression?
The requirement is i need to get the regular expression for some of the attributes and if the value is not matching with that regular expression then i need to give the popup saying the limitation of the attribute. but i need to give the pop up with the user understanding format.
Like "please give a to z or 1 to 9" like that.
So is there any way Java will help me to get the meaning of the regular expression?
Thank You!
Arun SI'm not aware of any such tool or library.
Also, it would be a terrible "explanation", because regular expressions (similar to other programming languages) have their own "style" of defining what to enter and that usually doesn't translate well into natural language.
For example the regex "[a-z][a-z0-9]*\s+[a-z0-9]+" could be translated as "a to z, followed by zero or more characters from a to z or 0 to 9 followed by any amount of whitespace followed by one or more characters from a to z or 0 to 9".
Or you could simply say "Please enter two alphanumeric words, the first one must not start with a number".
My suggestion: store/configure the human-readable description together with the regex. Don't try to automate it. -

Good forums also - better software than Oracle themselves.

Regular Expression for IPAddress
Hello members.....
I am a new member to this forum
I am in need of the Regular Expression for IPAddress...
"[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}"....is the expression i wrote..But it is taking 0.0.0.0 as a valid IPAddress. (0.0.0.0 is not a valid IPAddress)
Please reply....awaiting
RajeshwarI am in need of the Regular Expression for
IPAddress...
"[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}"
....is the expression i wrote..But it is taking
0.0.0.0 as a valid IPAddress. (0.0.0.0 is not a valid
IPAddress)Your regex matches "999.999.999.999", which (of course) isn't a vaild IP address as well.
This one is closer, but still allows 0.0.0.0:
\\b(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\\bBut why not roll your own method which checks an IP address? -

<af:validateRegExp pattern="^www[.][a-z]{1,15}[.](com|org)$"

</af:inputText>
as per your requirement you can change the pattern.

What is regular expression for cheking a set operation
I want a regular expression for checking the syntax of the set operation given as input
ex:
the input should be
[1,2,3]+[2,3] or [1,2]-[2] or [1,2,3]*[1,2]
is should check the square bracket and the operator between two set operandsI think you should code that from scratch. When you validate input, you usually want to tell the user what they did wrong, but a regex will only tell you whether it matches or not.
