Replace String using regular expressions

Question

Replacement with Regular expressions in Java - I have a String

 allof{
 condition {licenseState=="NY"}
 condition{professionId==301}
 condition {professionId=="301"}
}

would be it's possible to do a replacement in java using regex so the string looks like this one:

 allof{
 condition 'licenseState=="NY"', {licenseState=="NY"}
 condition 'professionId==301', {professionId==301}
 condition 'professionId=="301"', {professionId=="301"}
 } 

basically getting what inside the {} brackets and putting it separately. Is it possible and how? NewLine char is not guaranteed to be present after each condition.

I've tried:

condition\s*?{[a-zA-Z0-9=<>\s"']*} 

• jbabey: Yes it is possible, what have you tried?
• eugened: I have tried code condition\s*?{[a-zA-Z0-9=<>\s"']*} code which selected everything, but I don't know how to extract inner part of it
• Lee Meador: Here is a site that you can use to test out your regex: regexplanet.com/advanced/java/index.html Go there an try your regex
• Kent: @eugened this is a very simple case for group reference. do some google, do some test. next time you met it again, you know how to handle. e.g. this could let u start : {([^}]*)

Answer 1

You can use the string replaceAll function. Something like this:

yourString.replaceAll("\\{([^{}]*\\=\\=[^{}]*)\\}", "'1ドル', {1ドル}");

Answer 2

Assuming no nested {}

str = str.replaceAll( "(?<=condition)\\s*(\\{([^}]+)\\})", " '2ドル', 1ドル" );
