Question

I’m trying to get a regular expression for:

{"Place": "DENMARK", "ID": "9513436", "trains_used": 3, "Current": "_ ___ ____"}

to get the output as this:

DENMARK 9513436 3 "_ ___ ____"

But I’m not getting how to capture the whole word. Can anybody give me the regular expression for this?

EDIT: Yes it is a JSON string. But I don’t know JSON
EDIT: I’m trying to use string.split() in Java.

String teststr = "{\"Place\": \"DENMARK\", \"ID\": \"9513436\", \"trains_used\": 3, \"Current\": \"_ ___ ____\"}";

String regex = ".*?: \"(.*?)\".*?: \"(.*?)\".*?: (.*?),.*?: (\".*?\")";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regex);
Matcher m = p.matcher(teststr);

if (m.find()) {
    System.out.println(m.group(1) + " " + m.group(2) + " " + m.group(3) + " " + m.group(4));
}
