Matcher.matches() tries to match the entire string to the pattern. Your pattern will match against any number of 'v's, but it won't match anything that isn't a 'v'.
Thanks a lot!! I didnt realize that there are other methods as I am used to the functionality with find() method instead of looking for the entire string as a match.
Thanks anyway, this helped a big lot!!
