So I want to check if a String matches a regex.
The String is "TU-266F".
The pattern is Letter Letter – Number Number Number Letter
How would a regex look, that matches this String and returns true.
String s = "TU-266F";
if(s.matches[]){
return true;
}
I have to do a lot of testing, and if you could help me with this specific String I can figure out the rest alone, since they are all very similar.
>Solution :
If the pattern as you say is: ‘Letter Letter – Number Number Number Letter’ then you can use : ^[A-Z]{2}-[0-9]{3}[A-Z]$
import java.util.regex.*;
public class RegexExample1{
public static void main(String args[]){
boolean b=Pattern.compile("^[A-Z]{2}-[0-9]{3}[A-Z]$").matcher("TU-266F").matches();
System.out.println(b); // true
}}
