Question

Hi please help me out in getting regular expression for the
following requirement

I have string type as

String vStr = "Every 1 nature(s) - Universe: (Air,Earth,Water sea,Fire)";
String sStr = "Every 1 form(s) - Earth: (Air,Fire) ";

from these strings after using regex I need to get values as "Air,Earth,Water sea,Fire" and "Air,Fire"

that means after

String vStrRegex ="Air,Earth,Water sea,Fire";
String sStrRegex ="Air,Fire";

All the strings that are input will be seperated by ":" and values needed are inside brackets always

Thanks

The regular expression would be something like this:

: \((.*?)\)

Spelt out:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile(": \\((.*?)\\)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(vStr);
// ...
String result = m.group(1);

This will capture the content of the parentheses as the first capture group.
