Hello to everyone. I am currently experiencing a problem using regular expressions. I am new to this topic, which is perhaps
one reason I am experiencing difficulties. In my application, I am reading strings and for every string I retrieve content located
between the following characters: '>' and '<', such as: >xxxxx<. Initially I only wished to retrieve information that was in decimal
format or percentage format. I used the following:
String regEx = ">([-]?)[0-9]+\\.[0-9][0-9]([%]?)<";
(I wish to keep the surrounding ><
.
Everything worked fine until this point. The problem I am now having is that I wish to retrieve the content between the >< characters if they
are in decimal/percentage format or if the word EVEN is written. I tried the following:
String regEx = ">([-]?)[0-9]+\\.[0-9][0-9]([%]?)< | ^(>EVEN<
$";
but when I ran my application, all values were now null.
Could someone please help me. Thank you in advance for any help.
