regex question

[divya kundapur]

I need regular expression for this string "'test+test'+<[email protected]>"

the string can also be just "'test'+<[email protected]>"

any help is appreciated ..

That looks easy enough; what have you tried? Regular expressions website with tutorial. Java™ Tutorials section

The issue i need to solve is sometimes the string is "'test+test'+<[email protected]>" or just any email id i.e - [email protected]

from this "'test+test'+<[email protected]>" i m able to get email id using the below regex

String regex = "[^<]*[^>]";

But i m not able to use a if condition to decide whether the url string is "'test+test'+<[email protected]>" or just email id "[email protected]" without first and last name

Use JavaMail:

import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;

public class Test
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        String email = "'test+test'+<[e-mail]>";
        InternetAddress address = new InternetAddress(email, true);
        System.out.println(address);
        System.out.println(address.getAddress());
        System.out.println(address.getPersonal());
        System.out.println(address.getType());
    }
}

Output:

'test+test'+ <[e-mail]>
[e-mail]
'test+test'+

You will need to parse the personal part a bit more, but at least you can filter out the email address.
