如何只使用java正则表达式匹配字母,匹配方法?

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

class HowEasy {
    public boolean matches(String regex) {
        System.out.println(Pattern.matches(regex, "abcABC   "));
        return Pattern.matches(regex, "abcABC");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        HowEasy words = new HowEasy();
        words.matches("[a-zA-Z]");
    }
}

输出为False。我哪里错了?此外,我想检查一个单词是否只包含字母,并且可能或可能不以一个句点结束。这是什么样的正则表达式?

即“abc”“abc。”有效但“abc ..”无效。

我可以使用indexOf()方法来解决它,但我想知道是否可以使用单个正则表达式。

"[a-zA-Z]"只匹配一个字符。要匹配多个字符,请使用"[a-zA-Z]+"

由于点是任何角色的小丑,你必须掩盖它:"abc\."要使点可选,你需要一个问号: "abc\.?"

如果在代码中将Pattern作为文字常量编写,则必须屏蔽反斜杠:

System.out.println ("abc".matches ("abc\\.?"));
System.out.println ("abc.".matches ("abc\\.?"));
System.out.println ("abc..".matches ("abc\\.?"));

结合两种模式:

System.out.println ("abc.".matches ("[a-zA-Z]+\\.?"));

而不是a-zA-Z,\ w通常更合适,因为它捕获äöüßø等外来字符:

System.out.println ("abc.".matches ("\\w+\\.?"));

[A-Za-z ]*匹配字母和空格。

matches方法执行整行匹配,即它等同于find()和'^ abc $'。所以,只需使用Pattern.compile("[a-zA-Z]").matcher(str).find()。然后修复你的正则表达式。正如@user未知提到的,你的正则表达式实际上只匹配一个字符。您可能应该说[a-zA-Z]+

这里有三个问题:

  1. 只需使用String.matches() - 如果API在那里,请使用
  2. 在java中,“匹配”的意思是“匹配整个输入”,这是恕我直言的,所以让你的方法的API通过让调用者考虑匹配部分作为示例建议的输入
  3. 你的正则表达式只匹配1个字符
  4. 我建议你使用这样的代码:

    public boolean matches(String regex) {
        regex = "^.*" + regex + ".*$"; // pad with regex to allow partial matching
        System.out.println("abcABC   ".matches(regex));
        return "abcABC   ".matches(regex);
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        HowEasy words = new HowEasy();
        words.matches("[a-zA-Z]+"); // added "+" (ie 1-to-n of) to character class
    }
