Match Validate User Input Via Regex Comparison?

Apr 19, 2014

I am trying to match validate user input via regex comparison. But i fail to do so.

The string that will be inserted will have the following pattern: "digit/s " and it can be repeated a random number of times.

The program will extend to characters in the future but for now i am struggling with digits.

i am using a StringBuilder to build the regex string. Or maybe i could use something else but so far i didn't make it.

So far i have this regex

Java Code: "(d+s+)+" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

The problem is that the newline character will interfere with the last number.

So if i enter

Java Code: "3 4 555" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

- it will not match. And the regex will only see 3 4.

But if i enter

Java Code: "3 4 555 " mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

- with an extra space at the end it works. Obviously that is not the desired case.

I did find a workaround, but i fear it is somewhat broken

I changed to

Java Code: "(d+s*)+" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

But in this case the pattern should see 3 4 5 5 5 as the regular expression. Am i correct?

I also tried some other variants but none of them worked:

Java Code: "d+(s+|
*)" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Or i could do something like

Java Code: "(d+s){" + i + "}" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

- where i is the number of values i enter.

Am i on the right track here? What am i forgetting?

Swing/AWT/SWT :: How To Validate User Input In Dialog Box

Oct 20, 2014

I need to validate an input box so that the user can enter only round numbers.

The user can't enter any other characters except 0 to 9, they shouldn't be able to enter decimal points either.

They would be answering questions like, 'What is 7 times 8?'

Also, I need to validate it so that the program doesnt crash if they leave the input box blank or empty.

Match RegEx Equivalent Of Contains?

Oct 4, 2014

In a code im writing I was curious as to instead of

contains(".")

I wanted to use

matches(" ") method instead but really having issues with the regex

I have tried //. as well as ^[.] but they give me errors.

I am just trying to match a period but was curious as to what the form was. I read a good amount of materials and seemed simple but getting errors.

Regex Replacing Entire Text Rather Than Match

Feb 14, 2014

With the code below, I am trying to replace all regex matches for visa cards within a given text file.

My first test was with a text "new3.txt" exclusively containing the visa test card 4111111111111111. My objective was to replace the card with "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx". This was successful.

However, when modifying the text file to include other characters and text before and after (ex: " qwerty 4111111111111111 adsf zxcv"), it gives mixed results. Although it successfully validates the match, it replaces the whole text in the file, rather than replacing solely the match.

When trying this search and replace with words (rather than a regex match), it does not have this behavior. What am I missing?

import java.io.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public class BTest
{
//VISA Test
private final static String PATTERN = "(?s).*4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?.*";
public static void main(String args[])
{
try

If I enter 30 for the date I get this: Date is invalid

I wanted to know how what is wrong and why it is doing this.

Unable To Match Input String With Range Of Values And Getting PatternSyntaxException

Jun 12, 2014

I am trying to match the input string with range of values and getting PatternSyntaxException. below is my code

public static void main(String[] args) {
String regex="01[4-6]";
String code="015";
boolean bool=code.matches(regex);
System.out.println(bool);
}

output: true

But when i try to give range in double digits, it throws exception. What if i have to match a number(as string) between 10 to 25 or like that.

public static void main(String[] args) {
String regex="0[14-16]";
String code="015";
boolean bool=code.matches(regex);
System.out.println(bool);
}

Output:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal character range near index 5
0[14-16]

Equals Comparison Does Not Work

Jan 12, 2015

All I am trying to do is to make a section of code execute if two strings are equal. The two strings are userId and "A001062". When I use the debugger in Eclipse, I can see the value of userId as "A001062" but whatever string comparison I try never evaluates to true. I have tried

userId=="A001602"
userId.equals("A001602")
"A001602.equals(userId)
Assigning A001062 to a string called AAA and comparing userId to AAA

My code is as follows. I have also attached a screen shot from the Eclipse Debugger which makes me think the string comparison should succeed. I never see the debugger execute the print line nor do I see the print line on the JBOSS console.

String userId = StringUtils.trim(nextLine[HR_USER_ID]);
String AAA="A001062";
if (userId.intern().equals(AAA.intern())) {System.out.print("MKP1: " + userId+"-"+managerId);}
if (userId.compareTo("DTS0428")==0) {System.out.print("MKP2: " + userId+"-"+managerId);}

Asking User For Input Twice?

Apr 19, 2014

I'm working on creating a dice game and getting the users input is giving me a really hard time. I have the main game working but this part I'm stuck on. The problem is that it's not giving me the chance to enter the second input when I ask for the game.

//Create Scanner object
Scanner keys = new Scanner(System.in);
//Get chips

[Code]....

*****This is what I get when I run it

run:

How much money would you like to change? 50

You now have $50 in chips.

What game do you want to play? You did not pick dice.

I/O / Streams :: File Size Comparison

May 20, 2014

I would like to create a component to detect the file being modify before process.is it the right way to detect the file modification based on file size value?

Below are the flow:

1. Get the file size of a file
2. Used file size value encrypt it with MD5 algorithm, and say it generated us encrypted value "0123sdf"
3. to avoid user modify the file content, before file process, we take the file and do the encryption with md5 again, if it return value "0123sdf", then we are sure it doesn't have modification.

my question:
a. is it the right approach to detect file modification?
b. what the library advise to use or using java.security.DigestInputStream will do?

Mastermind Game - Comparison Event

Jan 14, 2015

I'm not so new to java i know the basics. I want to make a mastermind game. Just for training purpose.

Now i am at the comparison phase where it is comparing your chosen "colors" with the actual "color code"

This is my code for that part:

guesChars is a char array of 4 of the actual code
readGuess is a string of 4 of which the players has filled in the console
goodGuess is a char at the right position with the right "color"
avgGues is a char with the right "color" at the wrong position

Java Code:

for(int i = 0; i < guessChars.length; i++){
for(int ii = 0; ii < readGuess.length(); ii++){
if(readGuess.charAt(ii) == guessChars[i]){
if(ii == i){

[Code] .....

The problem is when the code is for example

ACDD

and the player guess is

ADDD

Result is

2 right spot right color

1 right color wrong spot

It have to be

2 right spot right color

0 right color wrong spot

Document Comparison / Proof Reading

Feb 14, 2014

So - working on some new document composition tasks today, and realised my life would be made easier if I could have an application to allow me to compare two documents and highlight the differences...I know I could use a number of other tools, even word compare but it would be more fun if I could do it myself. Plus - there's the thrill of using non-approved technology at my workplace...I'm a maverick.

Just looking for the high level steps I should go through in creating an application which could be delivered to users in my team as an executable file (I have admin rights to my works laptop, but my direct reports do not have this on theirs) so would need to be able to run the app without installing if possible...

Formatting User Input

Feb 4, 2014

I have been given a piece of work to do for College that requires me to format user input. For example: This is an example of text that will have straight left and right margins after formatting

will transform into:

This..is..an.example
of..text..that..will
have..straight..left
and...right..margins
after.....formatting

The user inputs the width, in the case above being 20. Each line has to therefore be 20 characters long. All spaces are to be replaced with full stops.

This.is.an.example.o
f.text.that.will.hav
e.straight.left.and.
right.margins.after.

public class Main {
public static void main ( String args[])
