I’m running some code through the eclipse debugger and a[1].matches("[a-zA-Z]") is not equating to true when a[1] = "ABCD" (a is a string array).
I’ve read the javadoc on matches and [a-zA-Z] should be a valid regular expression..
Anyone know where I’m going wrong?
Try using this expression:
[a-zA-Z]*(will match zero or more characters).If you require at least one character, use:
[a-zA-Z]+The expression you’re using will only match a single alpha character since it’s not quantified.
