I want to get 4 parts of this string
String string = "10 trillion 896 billion 45 million 56873";
The 4 parts I need are "10 trillion" "896 billion" "45 million" and "56873".
What I did was to remove all spaces and then substring it, but I get confused about the indexes.
I saw many questions but could not understand my problem.
Sorry I don't have any code
I couldn't run because I didn't know that was right.
Below code will work. Check comments for added instructions.
String input = "10 trillion 896 billion 45 million 56873";
String pattern = "\\s\\d"; // this will match space and number thus will give you start of each number.
ArrayList<Integer> inds = new ArrayList<Integer>();
ArrayList<String> strs = new ArrayList<String>();
Pattern r = Pattern.compile(pattern);
Matcher m = r.matcher(input);
while (m.find()) {
inds.add(m.start()); //start will return starting index.
}
//iterate over start indexes and each entry in inds array list will be the end index of substring.
//start index will be 0 and for subsequent iterations it will be end index + 1th position.
int indx = 0;
for(int i=0; i <= inds.size(); i++) {
if(i < inds.size()) {
strs.add(input.substring(indx, inds.get(i)));
indx = inds.get(i)+1;
} else {
strs.add(input.substring(indx, input.length()));
}
}
for(int i =0; i < strs.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(strs.get(i));
}
This is a way to get your solution easily.
String filename = "10 trillion 896 billion 45 million 56873";
String regex = " [0-9]";
String[] parts = filename.split(regex);
String part1 = parts[0]; // 10 trillion
String part2 = parts[1]; // 896 billion
String part3 = parts[2]; // 45 million
String part4 = parts[3]; // 56873
You can also get values by using the foreach loop.
for(String str: parts){
Log.i(TAG, "onCreate: parts : "+str);
}
You can use this regex:
\d+(?: (?:tri|bi|mi)llion)?
It first matches a bunch of digits \d+
, and then optionally (?:...)?
, we match either trillion, billion, or million (?:tri|bi|mi)llion
.
To use this regex,
Matcher m = Pattern.compile("\\d+(?: (?:tri|bi|mi)llion)?").matcher(string);
while (m.find()) {
System.out.println(m.group());
}
Regex is the answer
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
final String regex = "(\\d+\\s+\\w+)|\\d+";
final String string = "10 trillion 896 billion 45 million 56873";
final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex, Pattern.MULTILINE);
final Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(string);
while (matcher.find()) {
System.out.println("Full match: " + matcher.group(0));
for (int i = 1; i <= matcher.groupCount(); i++) {
System.out.println("Group " + i + ": " + matcher.group(i));
}
}
It will print
Full match: 10 trillion
Group 1: 10 trillion
Full match: 896 billion
Group 1: 896 billion
Full match: 45 million
Group 1: 45 million
Full match: 56873
Group 1: null
You can use the following Regex expression:
String string = "10 trillion 896 billion 45 million 56873";
String[] array = string.split("(?<!\\G\\w+)\\s");
Essentially, we're splitting on every second space rather than on every space.
try the below code.
public static void main(String args[]) {
String str = "10 trillion 896 billion 45 million 56873 ";
String[] strlist = str.split(" ");
for (int i = 0; i < strlist.length; i++) {
String data=textNumber(strlist[i], (i+1<strlist.length?strlist[i + 1]:""));
if (data != null) {
System.out.println(data);
i++;
}
}
}
public static String textNumber(String str1,String str2){
if(str1.matches("[0-9]+")){
if(str2.matches("[a-zA-Z]+")) {
return str1 + " " + str2;
}
return str1;
}
return null;
}
