Rowfilter regexFilter digits as strings

[Ionut Popa]

Hello all (or hello world )! This is my first post here even dough i read the forum pretty often for documentation.
I have a jtable and some of the columns contain string data that consist of numbers (i display phone numbers and I store them as strings). the problem is that I can not find a regular expression that can match these strings.
Regular matches like a digit itself do not work. I have even tried

  RowFilter.regexFilter("\\d", 0);  

to see if it matches anything but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

anyone? what regex's are accepted by regexfilter? why doesn't it work for numbers in the strings?

[Ionut Popa]

up with it

Have you looked at the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Tables" for the working example of filtering. The tutorial just uses the text as it was entered into the text field. That is they don't use any special regex characters.

Yup i've looked there but it doesn't work for strings with digits in them (the filtering). I have a couple of columns with digits stored as strings.

Works fine for me.

[Ionut Popa]

Even if you let's say enter digits in the text field and use that value for the rowFilter? Does it filter by strings with digits in them?

You need to reapply the filter for the new filter to become effective.

I don't understand. Can you give a code example?

[Rob Camick]

The example from the Swing tutorial works. All you need to do is change the data in the first column to contain phone numbers.

It doesn' work for me. I have a column with strings that contain only numbers...

Then please post a SSCCE - just the JFrame, JTable (with static data) and the row filter.
