Regex with capturing group for vs code snippets

Question

I am trying to have a VS code snippets.For generating java class.I am terrible with regex. As explained in here followed the instruction.

what i am trying is to extract the package name from my project path /home/bspl/Projects/SpringBoot/mdmssa/src/main/java/com/mdmssa/controller
which should be like

com.mdmssa.controller

the keyword here is java which will remain same in every project. Till now i came up with this following another thread in stackoverflow "${TM_FILEPATH/.*[\\/](.*[\\/].*)$/$1/}" Help would be much appreciated.

java\\/(.+) -> i think you can try this use the value of captured group split it with / and replace by . — Code Maniac

thanks that gave me a direction.. now with ${TM_DIRECTORY/.*[\\/]java\\/(.*[\\/].*)$/$1/} i can capture the group but was not able to do a transformation on captured group i.e com/mdmssa/controller has to be transformed to com.mdmssa.controller Any idea on that.. — sango

Now you can simply replace the / with . using replace method — Code Maniac

Try path.replaceAll(".+/(\\w+)/(\\w+)/(\\w+$)", "$1.$2.$3"); On the example path you give, it returns com.mdmssa.controller — Theo

Did something like ${TM_DIRECTORY/.*[\\/]java\\/(.*[\\/].*)$/${1/[\\]/\./}/} and it doesn't work.. and regex in path.replaceAll(".+/(\\w+)/(\\w+)/(\\w+$)", "$1.$2.$3") will work in most of my projects only drawback it is limited to 3 level of directory.. — sango

This one should work

${TM_DIRECTORY/.+java\\/|([^\\/]+)|(\\/)/$1${2:+.}/g}

With global flag we have 3 groups that transform

.+java\\/ - everything before and including last java/ transforms to empty string
([^\\/]+) - names between / after java/ doesn't transform
(\\/) - / transforms to . through :+ which transforms capture if it is present
