Question

I want a regular expression in Java which will match only if it is in the method signature of .css method.

For example

$('div').css( 'zIndex','10' );

In this case comma appears in the method signature of .css. Hence it should be matched.

Consider another example

$('div').css( 'zIndex' ); 

The example given below should not be matched as it has no comma in .css method.

I wrote a regex

\.css\(.+,.+\)

This works correctly in some cases only.
For example parseInt ( $('div').css('zIndex') , 10 );
In this example regex should not have matched as there is no comma .css method, but my regex matches.
Please help how to do it in java?

Answer 1

Use this regex:

\.css\([^,)]+,[^)]+\)

In Java it can be translated to:

\\.css\\([^,)]+,[^)]+\\)
