I have a problem in the regular expression. It is giving an error when the expression set in the string.
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Syntax error in regexp pattern near index 1:
10-27 09:53:48.297 15052-15052/com.plugapps.freecommerce E/AndroidRuntime: {[/^{}\]]*David[/^{}\]]*}
What do I do?
Look at this! I want returns an object in the Array that has the value of my search, for example "Daventry."
I am using: {[^{}\]]*Daventry[^{}\]]*}
[
{
"id": 113548,
"name": "Daventry",
"state_id": 1446,
"state_name": "Northamptonshire",
"state_code": "J1",
"country_id": 232,
"country_name": "United Kingdom",
"country_code": "GB",
"country_flag": "GB.png",
"currency_code": "GBP",
"currency_symbol": "£"
},
{
"id": 192392,
"name": "Daverdisse",
"state_id": 484,
"state_name": "Luxembourg",
"state_code": "06",
"country_id": 22,
"country_name": "Belgium\n",
"country_code": "BE",
"country_flag": "BE.png",
"currency_code": "EUR",
"currency_symbol": "€"
},
{
"id": 115981,
"name": "Davey",
"state_id": 4138,
"state_name": "Nebraska",
"state_code": "NE",
"country_id": 233,
"country_name": "United States\n",
"country_code": "US",
"country_flag": "US.png",
"currency_code": "USD",
"currency_symbol": "$"
},
{
"id": 142184,
"name": "David",
"state_id": 3350,
"state_name": "Neamt",
"state_code": "28",
"country_id": 181,
"country_name": "Romania\n",
"country_code": "RO",
"country_flag": "RO.png",
"currency_code": "RON",
"currency_symbol": "lei"
},
{
"id": 108261,
"name": "David",
"state_id": 4127,
"state_name": "Kentucky",
"state_code": "KY",
"country_id": 233,
"country_name": "United States\n",
"country_code": "US",
"country_flag": "US.png",
"currency_code": "USD",
"currency_symbol": "$"
}
]
And only returns:
[
{
"id": 113548,
"name": "Daventry",
"state_id": 1446,
"state_name": "Northamptonshire",
"state_code": "J1",
"country_id": 232,
"country_name": "United Kingdom",
"country_code": "GB",
"country_flag": "GB.png",
"currency_code": "GBP",
"currency_symbol": "£"
}
]
However gives the following error:
java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Syntax error in regexp pattern near index 1: 10-27 09:53:48.297 15052-15052/com.plugapps.freecommerce E/AndroidRuntime: {[/^{}]]Daventry[/^{}]]}
Your syntax is not completely right you still need to escape "/". If you change it to {[\/^{}\]]*David[\/^{}\]]*} then it's valid regex and it should work.
{[/^{}]]David[/^{}]]}your regex?
