鉴于声明
the cat and the dog played together
我可以用这个正则表达式捕捉猫和狗
(cat).*(dog)
句子中不会总是有猫,所以我将第一个捕获组设为可选
(cat)?.*(dog)
使用可选捕获组时,.*
总是抓取整个第一部分,忽略可选捕获,即使它在那里。如果猫在那里怎么可能被抓住,但如果它不存在,正则表达式仍将匹配狗?
我试过让明星不贪婪
(cat)?.*?(dog)
并尝试使用|
而不是可选的捕获组,但第一个捕获组始终被忽略。
答案 0 :(得分:2)
(?:(cat).*)?(dog)
匹配'cat'和后续角色直到下一个'dog'作为单个非捕获组,但捕获'cat'。
演示示例:
the cat and the dog played together - match 'cat' and 'dog
the mouse didn't play with the dog - match 'dog'
答案 1 :(得分:1)
我找到了一个:
(?:.*?(?=cat))?(cat)?.*(dog)
将所有内容与cat一词相匹配;然后匹配猫,如果它在那里,然后匹配任何东西到狗。
the cat played with the dog ==> 'cat', 'dog'
the mouse played with the dog ==> 'dog'
the dog played with the cat ==> 'dog'
