Question

I want to create a Pattern in Java which will return true for this lines:

some_stuff.ABS

hellomynameis.ABS

any_string_or_number.ABS

I tried to use *.ABS as Pattern but it didn’t work..

Answer 1

FIrst, you would need to match everything till .ABS, for that you can use a dot(.) with 0 or more occurrences(* quantifier). And then to match .ABS, you would need \\.ABS.

You can use this: –

.*\\.ABS

Of course, if you just want to match string that ends with .ABS, then String.endsWith would be a better choice. You don’t really need Regex here.
