Pencarian String Menggunakan Regular Expresion dan JAVA

Apa itu Regular Expression?

Regular Expresion atau yang lebih sering disebut RegEx merupakan sebuah metode yang digunakan untuk mencocokan string teks berdasarkan karakter karakter tertentu.

RegEx dapat diimplementasikan JAVA dengan class Pattern dan Matcher yang terdapat pada package "java.util.regex". Class Pattern berfungsi sebagai compiler syntax regex, sedangkan class Matcher berfungsi sebagai "executor" syntax regex yang telah dicompile oleh class Pattern. Berikut adalah contoh program untuk mencari kata yang berawalan huruf "d" pada sebuah kalimat.

package urlconnector;

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class CariString {
 
 public static void main (String[] args) {
  String data = "Ini adalah contoh data yang akan dilakukan pencarian";
  String keyword = "[\\s][d]";
  int totalKecocokan = CariString.cari(keyword, data);
  
  System.out.println(totalKecocokan);
 }
 
 public static int cari (String keyword, String data) {
  Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(keyword);
  Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(data);
  
  int totalKecocokan = 0;
  while (matcher.find()) {
   totalKecocokan++;
  }
  
  return totalKecocokan;
 }
 
}

Classes for Unicode blocks and categories
\p{InGreek}	A character in the Greek block (simple block)
\p{Lu}	An uppercase letter (simple category)
\p{Sc}	A currency symbol
\P{InGreek}	Any character except one in the Greek block (negation)
[\p{L}&&[^\p{Lu}]]	Any letter except an uppercase letter (subtraction)
Boundary matchers
^	The beginning of a line
$	The end of a line
\b	A word boundary
\B	A non-word boundary
\A	The beginning of the input
\G	The end of the previous match
\Z	The end of the input but for the final terminator, if any
\z	The end of the input
