I have next code:
public static void createTokens(){
String test = "test is a word word word word big small";
Matcher mtch = Pattern.compile("test is a (\\s*.+?\\s*) word (\\s*.+?\\s*)").matcher(test);
while (mtch.find()){
for (int i = 1; i <= mtch.groupCount(); i++){
System.out.println(mtch.group(i));
}
}
}
And have next output:
word
w
But in my opinion it must be:
word
word
Somebody please explain me why so?
