How To Split A Text Looking For Values With Regular Expression
Aug 6, 2014
I have to read a text looking for value related to certain variable. The variable are always DE plus identifier from 1 to 99 or DE plus identifier from 1 to 99 and SF plus identifier from 1 to 99. The value can be alphanumeric. How can I get these values? As a start point, I try to use split("DE") but I can get something that is wrong if there is "DE" inside the text that doesn't me interest. I look for scanner but it doesn't work. I guess that there is some way, maybe using regex but I am completely lost ( I have never used regedix before and I am in rush to fix this).
Basically, the text is similar to the below where DE means data element and sf sub field. Some data elements have sub fields while others don't. I guess that there is a way to split with something like DE+anyNumberFrom1To99 = theValueAimed in some array and DE+anyNumberFrom1To99+,+SF+anyNumberFrom1To99 = theValueAimed in other array.
DE 2, SF 1 = 00 SOME TEXT THAT DOESN'T INTEREST ME
DE 22, SF 1 = 0 SOME TEXT THAT DOESN'T INTEREST ME
DE 22, SF 4 = 1 SOME TEXT THAT DOESN'T INTEREST ME
DE 22, SF 5 = 0 SOME TEXT THAT DOESN'T INTEREST ME
DE 22, SF 6 = 11 SOME TEXT THAT DOESN'T INTEREST ME
DE 22, SF 7 = 90x SOME TEXT THAT DOESN'T INTEREST ME
DE 22, SF 7 = 12ab SOME TEXT THAT DOESN'T INTEREST ME
DE 99 = 1234 SOME TEXT THAT DOESN'T INTEREST ME

Regular expression which I want to use to split a string. The string could look similar to this:
"a = "Hello World" b = "Some other String" c = "test""
The String is read from a file where the file contents would be:
a = "Hello World" b = "Some other String" c = "test"
After splitting I would like to get the following array:
String[] splitString = new String[] {"a", "=", ""Hello World"", "b", "=", ""Some other String"", "c", "=", ""test""}
I know I could just write a simple text parser to go over the string character by character, but I would rather not do it to keep my code clean and simple. No need to reinvent the wheel.
However, I just cant seem to be able to find the right regular expression for this task. I know that a RE must exist because this can be solved by a finite automaton.

I am currently enrolled in my first Java class. I have taken C# in the past so I've messed with some regular expressions, but I am having trouble finding a good website for Java. Is the syntax the same?I want to create a regular expression to only allow the following characters: c C f F [and any 1-3 digit number].

I have a string "We have 7 tutorials for Java, 2 tutorials for Javascript and 1 tutorial for Oracle" I need to replace the numbers based on the below condition.
if more then 5, replace with many
if less then 5, replace with a few
if it is 1, replace with "only one"
below is my code, I am missing the equating part to replace the numbers
private static String REGEX="(d+)";
private static String INPUT="We have 7 tutorials for Java, 2 tutorials for Javascript and 1 tutorial for Oracle";
//String pattern= "(.*)(d+)(.*)";
private static String REPLACE = "replace with many";
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Pattern object

I have written below regex for two lines.
String LN1Pattern = "^((?=.{1,35}$)(/([A-Z]{1,5})(|(//[a-zA-Z0-9]+))))$";
System.out.println("/ABC//FGhiJkl012345".matches(LN1Pattern));
String LN2Pattern = "^(|((s+(//[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,33})){1,2}))$";
System.out.println("".matches(LN2Pattern));
s+ is a newline character.
But when I combines both as below, its not giving me expected result.
^(((?=.{1,35}$)(/([A-Z]{1,5})(|(//[a-zA-Z0-9]+))))(|((s+(//[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,33})){1,2})))$
For string "/ABC//FGhiJkl012345
//abCD01EF02" - returns False. Expected is True
I think there is some problem in lookahead placed.

I have some problems about performing regular expression. In the following code, the output as a result is being "valid last name". But in my opinion, it should be "invalid last name". Because "Doe" has not any space, apostroph or any hypen. Look at the regular expression statement: "[a-zA-Z]+([ '-][a-zA-Z]+)*"
package deneme;
public class Deneme {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String lastName = "Mc-Something"; // Mc-Something
if(!lastName.matches("[a-zA-Z]+([ '-][a-zA-Z]+)*"))
System.out.println("Invalid last name");
else
System.out.println("Valid last name");
}
}
I know that the asterisk qualifier means character(s) in any number.(Is this wrong?) So for "Mc-Something", 'M' corresponds to [a-zA-Z], 'c' corresponds to +, - corresponds to [ '-], 'S' corresponds to [a-zA-Z], "o" corresponds to +, and finally "mething" corresponds to *, doesn't they? But for "Doe", there is no any space, apostroph or hypen.

I need a regular expression in java for phone number which that does not allow any character special character only numbers should be allowed.. My sample program is
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class c {
public String removeOrReplacePhoneNumber(String input) {
if (null == input)
return input;
[Code] ....
but this is allowing characters like a,b,c..

I am new to java coding. so, reading the log file using java code.
1) I wish to parse a file, and find a value for variable e.g. [StorageVersion].
2) After finding the value, it will be pushed to database.
Following is the code that i have written till now.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
[code]....
1) I don't know what regular expression can i use.
2) I want a line to check that preceding line should have //StorageVersion .
3) n then i will check any string between := K[' and '];. From above log file "'706146.0.22106932'" is the value that i am looking for.

I need to parse an html web page to extract specific information from the tags in Java. For example,
<b>Species </b> Strain </td>
I need to look for the Strain info (Strain is variable in length) in the page. The whole web page is stored as a huge string. I need a regular expression that can identify all the Species and retrieve their corresponding strain info. how to do this or can propose some clever string manipulation methods in Java.

I am trying to implement an example (Book* : Java SE 7 ..By S G Ganesh) for validating an IP address but it fails to validate a valid IP addresses. I found another example on the internet(**) and it works super fine, no problem at all. I edited the code (the one I got from internet) into the exact format like book and it still works super but i don't understand why the books' example doesn't work though both look exactly the same now ,further more, how can i compare String x and y for equality?
public class TestClass {
void validateIP(String ipStr) {
String one = "((25[0-5]|2[0-4]d|[01]?dd?)(.)){3}(25[0-5]|2[0-4]d|[01]?dd?)"; //copied from internet and edited
String two = "((25[0–5]|2[0–4]d|[01]?dd?)(.)){3}(25[0–5]|2[0–4]d|[01]?dd?)"; // copied from book
String x = "((25[0-5]|2[0-4]d|[01]?dd?)(.))";
String y ="((25[0–5]|2[0–4]d|[01]?dd?)(.))";
[Code] ....

I have a text file that has the following lines:
the boy is smart
He is from Australia
** Highly important line
That's all
Now, I need a regular java expression that would match a line in this file that begins with the ** characters. That is, when I match the text with the regex, I should get only this line :
** Highly important line
How would I write this regex in java?

I am trying to read a text file into Java and split the text into tokens. Eventually I want to be able to count the number of instances of a specific word. However, at this point, when I run the file, all I get is the location of the file rather than the text in the file.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class textTest3 {
/**
* Prints the number of words in a given file

* @param args

I have multiple text files that contain several docs. my files look like this:
<doc id 1> some text </doc>
<doc id 2> some more text</doc>
...
As output I want to extract the text between the tags and then write the text into several files like 1.txt, 2.txt ......
here is my code so far:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
[Code] ....
I can not seem to get around how to print the text into several files.

I am trying to split the contents of the text file and assign the value on the left of the separator to a variable and the value on the right of the | separator to another variable. Thus I tried out a sample code to print all the values in the split [] first, and ended up with problems. This is the content of the text file:
Crazed Boy|20
Hello|5
MSB|6.5
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("test1.txt"));
for (int i =0; i < 3 ;i++) {
String s = infile.readLine();
String[] ss = s.split("|");
[code]....
I keep getting IOException in my sample code, why is this so ? I assumed the split() method is supposed to output for the 1st iteration:
ss[0] = Crazed Boy
ss[1] = 20

For example, if I had a text file with one line such as "first, second, third", would there be a way to make it so I could make "first" go to the first array list, "second" to the second, and "third" to the third?
I haven't posted any of my code so far as it wouldn't be right to be handed the finished code on a platter and I should put the work into it, but I'd just need a loop to make it go through the rest of the lines in the text file to add all the first, second and third parts of each line, right?
(I already know how to input data from a file, but not how to split up a line into bits to put into different array lists).

So I'm trying to read 11 values from a text file, each value on a separate line. The first value I use as loop control to run through calculations on the other ten and finally output both the numbers and the calculations to the console and an output file. I'm not getting a compiler error or a runtime error but my loop seems to stop after reading the first line. It also doesnt seem to be writing to my output file but does create it when I run the program. This is what my text file looks like
10
150.4
88.4
-3.14
499.4
799.4
1299.8
0
1900.2
901.7
4444.4
This is what my program looks like
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class assignment7scratch
{
Toolkit_General toolKit = new Toolkit_General();
public static void main (String[]args)throws IOException
[Code] .....
so I dont get an error but this is what my output looks like
----jGRASP exec: java assignment7scratch
This program reads a list of values representing number of miles driven by individuals. It will output the dollar amount their rental cars cost.
Number of miles traveled on the left as well as amount reimbursed on the right
-----------------------------------------------
Miles Driven Amount reimbursed
150.427.072
----jGRASP: operation complete.
it also doesn't write anything to my output file, though it does create one.
