I have this input:
;Client = tefexx;Test = tgrfdrff;Piemel = thgfress
And this regex:
(;Client = )
The word in the regex would change depending on the needs. But in this case I would want to only return tefexx. I don't understand how to match just that word.
You can try this :
(;Client = (.*?);)
In your exemple, this regexp's second capturing group will hold 'tefexx' only.
This should work /Client = ([a-zA-z]+);/
Here's an example using Pattern and Matcher:
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
public class Re {
static String s = ";Client = tefexx;Test = tgrfdrff;Piemel = thgfress";
static String re = ";Client = ([^;]*);";
static public void main(String[] args) {
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(re);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(s);
if (matcher.find()) {
System.out.println(matcher.group(1));
}
}
}
$ java Re
tefexx
