If you want to match non-word boundaries using Java RegEx? You match a specific word in a string. e.g. We will match “java” in “java is object oriented language”. But it should not match “javap” in “javap is another tool in JDL bundle”.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class Example { public static void main(String args[]) { //Reading String from user System.out.println("Enter a String"); Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); String input = sc.nextLine(); String regex = "\\B"; //Compiling the regular expression Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex); //Retrieving the matcher object Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input); int count = 0; while(matcher.find()) { count++; } System.out.println("Number of non-word boundaries: "+count); } } |
