I have a String xxxxxxxxsrc="/slm/attachment/63338424306/Note.jpg"xxxxxxxx Now, I want to extract substrings slm/attachment/63338424306/Note.jpg & Note.jpg from the String in to variables i.e. temp1 & temp2.
How can I do that using regex in Java?
Note: 63338424306 could be any random no. & Note.jpg could be anything
like Note.png or abc.jpg or xxxx.yyy etc.
Please help me to extract these two strings using regex.
You can use negative look behind to get file name
((?:.(?<!/))+)\"
and below regex to get full path
/(.*)\"
Sample code
public static void main(String[] args) {
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("/(.*)\"");
Pattern pattern1 = Pattern.compile("((?:.(?<!/))+)\"");
String matchString = "/slm/attachment/63338424306/Note.jpg\"xxxxxxxx";
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(matchString);
String fullString = "";
while (matcher.find()) {
fullString = matcher.group(1);
}
matcher = pattern1.matcher(matchString);
String fileName = "";
while (matcher.find()) {
fileName = matcher.group(1);
}
System.out.println(fullString + " " + fileName);
}
As per your comment taking the string as declared below in my code:
Please clarify if your input string is not like this or I'm missing something.
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "xxxxxxxxsrc=\"/slm/attachment/63338424306/Note.jpg\"xxxxxxxx";
String url = null;
// The below pattern will grab string between quotes
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\"([^\"]*)\"");
Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
while (m.find()) {
System.out.println(m.group(1));
url = m.group(1);
}
// and this will grab filename from the path(url)
p = Pattern.compile("(?:.(?<!/))+$");
m = p.matcher(url);
while (m.find()) {
System.out.println(m.group());
}
}
I have a problem with matching the two words with a space between them in Pattern.compile in Java.
My string is "What is your name?".
My code:
String namee = "What is your name?";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("What is|Address is");
if (pattern.matcher(namee).find())
{
if (namee.equals("What is"))
{
namee = "name";
}
}
what I am trying to achieve if a string consist "What is" then the string itself should change to "name". But its not wotking with space...
Solution1
You can use Matcher and then check with the matcher.group() like this:
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("What is|Address is");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(namee);
if (matcher.find()) {
if (matcher.group().equals("What is")) {
namee = "name";
}
}
Solution2
If you want to check if your string contain What is or Address is, then you can easily use :
if(namee.contains("What is")){
namee = "What is";
}else if (namee.contains("Address is")){
namee = "....";
}
Solution3
If you want to check if your string start with What is or Address is then you can use :
if(namee.startsWith("What is")){
namee = "What is";
}else if (namee.startsWith("Address is")){
namee = "....";
}
Try like this (to be safe; better code readability as well IMHO):
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(What is)|(Address is)")
but the following code feels wrong:
if (namee.equals("What is"))
...
you probably want to use instead the java.util.regex.Matcher you just created. For instance:
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(namee);
if (matcher.find()) {
if (matcher.group().equals("What is")) {
...
}
}
There are input strings of the format
${ENC}:107ec5141234742beec5cb5b1917e2e6:{ENC}$${ENC}:d0b2ddf0b9e7b397558c20c623237c4f:{ENC}$${ENC}:85d6f3cd7dcc5c67cad68ae45a0d5afc:{ENC}$${ENC}:5c0dfb55a843f830024df0d74993b668:{ENC}$
As you can see, the data ( in bold), are prefixed with ${ENC}: and suffixed with :{ENC}$. And i want to replace all the Strings in between them with processed data.
I am using the Regular Expression:
\$\{ENC\}\:(.*?)\:\{ENC\}\$
which after escaping for java:
\\$\\{ENC\\}\\:(.*?)\\:\\{ENC\\}\\$
to find the matches and replace the Strings.
My code sample is below:
String THE_REGEX = "\\$\\{ENC\\}\\:(.*?)\\:\\{ENC\\}\\$";
Pattern THE_PATTERN = Pattern.compile(THE_REGEX);
public static boolean isProcessingRequired(String data){
if(data == null){
return false;
}
return data.matches(THE_REGEX);
}
public String getProcessedString(String dataString){
Matcher matcher = THE_PATTERN.matcher(dataString);
if(matcher.matches()){
String processedData = null;
String dataItem = matcher.group(1);
String procItem = doSomeProcessing(dataItem);
processedData = dataString.replaceAll("\\$\\{ENC\\}:" + encData + ":\\{ENC\\}\\$", procItem);
if(isProcessingRequired(processedData)){
processedData = getProcessedString(processedData);
}
return processedData;
} else {
return dataString;
}
}
public String doSomeProcessing(String str){
// do some processing on the string
// for now:
str = "DONE PROCESSING!!"
return str;
}
But at matcher.group(1), I'm getting
107ec5141234742beec5cb5b1917e2e6:ENC}$${ENC}:d0b2ddf0b9e7b397558c20c623237c4f:{ENC}$${ENC}:85d6f3cd7dcc5c67cad68ae45a0d5afc:{ENC}$${ENC}:5c0dfb55a843f830024df0d74993b668
instead of
107ec5141234742beec5cb5b1917e2e6
which I was expecting.
I'm using the ? in regex to avoid this problem.
And when I tried it at the www.regexe.com, regex appears to be fine
What am I doing wrong here?
The problem is that you are using Matcher.matches() instead of Matcher.find().
From the javadoc:
public boolean matches()
Attempts to match the entire region against the pattern.
public boolean find()
Attempts to find the next subsequence of the input sequence that matches the pattern.
Here is a simple code expliciting the difference :
Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("\\Q${ENC}\\E(.*?)\\Q{ENC}$\\E").matcher("${ENC}1{ENC}$${ENC}2{ENC}$");
if (matcher.matches()) {
System.out.println(matcher.group(1)); // Will print "1{ENC}$${ENC}2"
}
matcher.reset();
if (matcher.find()) {
System.out.println(matcher.group(1)); // Will print "1"
}

JavaScript REGEX: How do I get the YouTube video id from a URL?
Figured this question wasn't here for Java, in case you need to do it in Java here's a way
public static String extractYTId(String ytUrl) {
String vId = null;
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(
"^https?://.*(?:youtu.be/|v/|u/\\w/|embed/|watch?v=)([^#&?]*).*$",
Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(ytUrl);
if (matcher.matches()){
vId = matcher.group(1);
}
return vId;
}
Works for URLs like (also for https://...)

Previous answers don't work for me.. It's correct method. It works with www.youtube.com and youtu.be links.
private String getYouTubeId (String youTubeUrl) {
String pattern = "(?<=youtu.be/|watch\\?v=|/videos/|embed\\/)[^#\\&\\?]*";
Pattern compiledPattern = Pattern.compile(pattern);
Matcher matcher = compiledPattern.matcher(youTubeUrl);
if(matcher.find()){
return matcher.group();
} else {
return "error";
}
}
Update 21 Oct 2022
As this post getting attention from people, I am going to update to serve more cases, thanks to #Nikhil Seban for your new links, the Java code is remained thanks to guys provide code #Leap Bun #Pankaj
This regex also use match group(1), please take a look on the bottom

Note: Using regex match group(1) to get ID
public static String getVideoId(#NonNull String videoUrl) {
String videoId = "";
String regex = PLEASE_COPY_ABOVE_REGEX_PATTERN
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(url);
if(matcher.find()){
videoId = matcher.group(1);
}
return videoId;
}
To me, for the sample links you posted, this regex looks more precise (capturing the ID to Group 1):
https?://(?:www\.)?youtu(?:\.be/|be\.com/(?:watch\?v=|v/|embed/|user/(?:[\w#]+/)+))([^&#?\n]+)
On the demo, see the capture groups in the bottom right pane. However, for the second match, not entirely sure that this is a correct ID as it looks different from the other samples—to be tweaked if needed.
In code, something like:
Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("http://(?:www\\.)?youtu(?:\\.be/|be\\.com/(?:watch\\?v=|v/|embed/|user/(?:[\\w#]+/)+))([^&#?\n]+)");
Matcher regexMatcher = regex.matcher(subjectString);
if (regexMatcher.find()) {
VideoID = regexMatcher.group(1);
}
private fun extractVideoId(ytUrl: String?): String? {
var videoId: String? = null
val regex =
"^((?:https?:)?//)?((?:www|m)\\.)?((?:youtube\\.com|youtu.be|youtube-nocookie.com))(/(?:[\\w\\-]+\\?v=|feature=|watch\\?|e/|embed/|v/)?)([\\w\\-]+)(\\S+)?\$"
val pattern: Pattern = Pattern.compile(
regex ,
Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE
)
val matcher: Matcher = pattern.matcher(ytUrl)
if (matcher.matches()) {
videoId = matcher.group(5)
}
return videoId
}
The above function with regex can extract video Id from

Using regex from Tấn Nguyên:
public String getVideoIdFromYoutubeUrl(String url){
String videoId = null;
String regex = "http(?:s)?:\\/\\/(?:m.)?(?:www\\.)?youtu(?:\\.be\\/|be\\.com\\/(?:watch\\?(?:feature=youtu.be\\&)?v=|v\\/|embed\\/|user\\/(?:[\\w#]+\\/)+))([^&#?\\n]+)";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(url);
if(matcher.find()){
videoId = matcher.group(1);
}
return videoId;
}
Credit to Tấn Nguyên.
This will work for me and simple..
public static String getVideoId(#NonNull String videoUrl) {
String reg = "(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\\.com\\/(?:[^\\/\\n\\s]+\\/\\S+\\/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)\\/|\\S*?[?&]v=)|youtu\\.be\\/)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{11})";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(reg, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(videoUrl);
if (matcher.find())
return matcher.group(1);
return null;
}
Just pass youtube link in below function , it will detect all type of youtube url
public static String getYoutubeID(String youtubeUrl) {
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(youtubeUrl)) {
return "";
}
String video_id = "";
String expression = "^.*((youtu.be" + "\\/)" + "|(v\\/)|(\\/u\\/w\\/)|(embed\\/)|(watch\\?))\\??v?=?([^#\\&\\?]*).*"; // var regExp = /^.*((youtu.be\/)|(v\/)|(\/u\/\w\/)|(embed\/)|(watch\?))\??v?=?([^#\&\?]*).*/;
CharSequence input = youtubeUrl;
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
if (matcher.matches()) {
String groupIndex1 = matcher.group(7);
if (groupIndex1 != null && groupIndex1.length() == 11)
video_id = groupIndex1;
}
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(video_id)) {
if (youtubeUrl.contains("youtu.be/") ) {
String spl = youtubeUrl.split("youtu.be/")[1];
if (spl.contains("\\?")) {
video_id = spl.split("\\?")[0];
}else {
video_id =spl;
}
}
}
return video_id;
}
Combining a couple of methods, to cover as many formats as possible, is recommended.
String ID1 = getYoutubeID1(url); regex 1
String ID2 = getYoutubeID2(url); regex 2
String ID3 = getYoutubeID3(url); regex 3
then, using an if/switch statement to choose a value that isn't null and is valid.
I actully try all the above but some times work and some times fail
any way I found this may it help -- in this site
private final static String expression = "(?<=watch\\?v=|/videos/|embed\\/|youtu.be\\/|\\/v\\/|\\/e\\/|watch\\?v%3D|watch\\?feature=player_embedded&v=|%2Fvideos%2F|embed%\u200C\u200B2F|youtu.be%2F|%2Fv%2F)[^#\\&\\?\\n]*";
public static String getVideoId(String videoUrl) {
if (videoUrl == null || videoUrl.trim().length() <= 0){
return null;
}
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(expression);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(videoUrl);
try {
if (matcher.find())
return matcher.group();
} catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

This will work on two kinks of youtube video urls either direct or shared URL.
Direct url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX
Shared url: https://youtu.be/XXXXXXXXXXX
This is very similar to the link posted in your question.
String url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZZ7oFKsKzY";
if(url.indexOf("v=") == -1) //there's no video id
return "";
String id = url.split("v=")[1]; //everything before the first 'v=' will be the first element, i.e. [0]
int end_of_id = id_to_end.indexOf("&"); //if there are other parameters in the url, get only the id's value
if(end_index != -1)
id = url.substring(0, end_of_id);
return id;
Without regex :
String url - "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYrumLBuzHk"
String video_id = url.replace("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=", "")
So now you have a video ID in string video_id.
I have a PCL file and open it with Notepad ++ to view the source code (with PCL Viewer I see the final results but I need to view the source also).
Please see Lab Number and the rest of the characters. I am able to extract Lab Number and its code with this regex:

but it does NOT find it in the PCL file.
I've also tried with:
private static String PATTERN_DATE_REPORTED =
"Date Reported[\\W\\D]*([0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2})";
but the same not found result...
Do you see where I am missing something in this last regex?
Thanks a lot!
UPDATE:
I use this java code to extract Lab number and Date Reported:
public String extractWithRegEx(String regextype, String input) {
String matchedString = null;
if (regextype != null && input != null) {
Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile(regextype).matcher(input);
if (matcher.find()) {
System.out.println("Matcher found for regextype "+regextype);
matchedString = matcher.group(0);
if (matcher.groupCount() > 0) {
matchedString = matcher.group(1);
}
}
}
return matchedString;
}
Here is the code to accomplish what you want..
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("Date Reported.*(\\d{2}/\\d{4} \\d{2}:\\d{2})$", Pattern.MULTILINE);
String st = "date dfdsfsd fgfd gdfgfdgdf gdfgdfg gdfgdf 3232/22/2010 23:34\n"+
"dsadsadasDate Reported gdfgfd gdfgfdgdf gdfgdfg gdfgdf 3232/22/2010 23:34";
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(st);
while (matcher.find()) {
System.out.println(matcher.group(1));
}
