Performing Regular Expression - Valid Last Name

Feb 4, 2015

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.

LISP Expression - Performing Operations

Jan 29, 2015

Given a LISP expression, perform operations on the expression. There will be no list elements that also contain a list such as '(A (B (C D))), which has one atom and one list but the list contains a sublist

INPUT: There will be 5 lines of input. Each line will contain a valid LISP expression. There will be a space between each atom and each list. There are no spaces immediately after or immediately before parentheses in a list. The entire expression must be inputted as a single string.

OUPUT: Perform the given operation on the like numbered expression. The 5 operations are:

1. Print the expression with the list in reverse order. The list will contain only atoms.

2. Print the expression with the list written with consecutive duplicates encoded as sublists in (count element) order. The list will contain only atoms.

3 Print the expression with the list written with consecutive duplicates encoded as sublists in (count element) order except that singletons are listed as atoms. The list will contain only atoms.

4. Print the expression with the list written with every Nth element deleted and where N is the last element of the list.

5. Print the expression written as 2 expressions where the number of lists in first expression is the last element of the expression.

SAMPLE INPUT SAMPLE OUTPUT
1. '(A B C D) 1. ′(D C B A)
2. '(A A A A B C C A A D E E E E) 2. ′((4 A) (1 B) (2 C) (2 A) (1 D) (4 E))
3. '(A A A A B C C A A D E E E E) 3. ′((4 A) B (2 C) (2 A) D (4 E))
4. '((4 A) (1 B) (2 C) (2 A) (1 D) (4 E) 2) 4. ′((4 A) (2 C) (1 D) 2)
5. '((4 A) (1 B) (2 C) (2 A) (1 D) (4 E) 3) 5. ′((4 A) (1 B) (2 C)) ′((2 A) (1 D) (4 E) 3)

How To Use Regular Expression Using Pattern

Mar 16, 2015

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

Java String Regular Expression

Apr 17, 2014

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.

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.

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

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.

Specific Regular Expression - Split A String

Mar 3, 2014

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.

Validate IP Address With Java Regular Expression

Jan 23, 2015

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?)(.))";

String To A Double In Scanner - Performing Calculation?

Apr 23, 2015

This may be a multipart question. Basically I have to write a program that accepts a string, converts it to a double splits it and then performs a calculation.

public static void main(String[] args) {
String input = ""; // initalize the string
boolean isOn = true; // used for the while loop...when false, the program will exit.
String exitCommand = "Exit"; // exit command
String[] token = input.split(("(?<=[-+*/])|(?=[-+*/])"));

[Code] ....

This is the error I get:

Enter a math problemException in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: empty String
at sun.misc.FloatingDecimal.readJavaFormatString(Floa tingDecimal.java:1842)
at sun.misc.FloatingDecimal.parseDouble(FloatingDecim al.java:110)
at java.lang.Double.parseDouble(Double.java:538)
at Calculator.main(Calculator.java:22)

[Code] .....

How do I go about actually fixing it. Without that line commented out I get this:

Enter a math problem
2+2 <-What I entered
[Ljava.lang.String;@135fbaa4

Also, how would I go about using the submethods to check for valid operands and operators (also part of the problem) I have the actual lists made obviously, but am unsure how to get those to work with the problem.

Int And Double - Performing Floating Point Arithmetic

I am new Java Programming and I am struggling to pass my Java class. How to perform Java but I am trying. For this particular assignment I supposed to:

* Change all variables' data types to double.
* Change the two prompts to request double values
* Change change the two calls to the nextInt() method to nextDouble().

This is the original assignment:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ArithmeticDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input= new Scanner(System.in);
int firstNumber;
int secondNumber;
int sum;
int difference;

2D Array Computation - Performing Certain Matrix Calculations

Apr 22, 2015

I've created several methods in another class to perform certain matrix calculations. Do I need to have mutator method in this calculation class to define the column length of the matrix object? I understand why the following code is not working, but I was hoping to get a quick and easy workaround. I'm not sure how to initialize the size of the column for newMatrix within the method.

public int [][] sum(int matrixOne[][], int matrixTwo[][]) {
int sumMatrix [][] = new int[matrixOne.length]["WHAT TO PUT HERE"];
for (int i = 0; i < matrixOne.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < matrixOne[i].length; j++) {
sumMatrix[i][j] = matrixOne[i][j] + matrixTwo[i][j];
System.out.println("matrixSum" + sumMatrix[i][j]);
}
}
return sumMatrix;
}

Then I will use this method to print the new matrix:

public void printMatrix(int newMatrix [][]) {
for (int i = 0; i < newMatrix.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < newMatrix[i].length; j++) {
System.out.print(newMatrix[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println("");
}
}

Is all of this overkill and should I just define all the methods within the same class to avoid these issues?

Performing Method On Instance Inside Abstract Class

Mar 12, 2015

How do I create an instance of a class in a method?

I am a bit rusty whenever I think of instances. I always think of main method and objects when I see instance which gets me confused on what to do when I am not in a main method. The example:

I have a abstract class, School, and inside School I have some methods that must preform some action on an instance. For example, there is a move() method that must move the instance of School. Another method named, personOld(), which returns whether or not an instance of School surpassed some determined age.

How do I do this and create this instance?

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Disable Event While Performing Long Running Task

Apr 28, 2015

I have in my application a button that when it is pressed, runs a long running task (usually takes a couple of seconds....).

My problem is that while the task runs, I want to stop the button from receiving clicks. Unfortunately this is something I have not achieved.

I have tried creating a new thread and calling the long running method, and using the Display.geCurrent().asyncExec...

Examples of what I have tried so far:

myButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
@Override
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
if (myList.size() > 0) {
myButton.setEnabled(false);
myButton.setGrayed(true);

[Code] .....

In both cases, while the button is disabled and the cursor busy, if the user clicks the button, the long running method is ran several times - and this is what I want to avoid.
