The meta character "." matches all the characters, to print all the characters using the regular expressions −Compile the regular expression using the compile() method.Create a Matcher object using the matcher() method.Find the matches using the find() method and for every match print the matched contents (characters) using the group() method.Example Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class RegexExample {    public static void main( String args[] ) {       //Regular expression to match a string of non-word with length 2 to 6       String regex = ".";       Scanner sc = new ...

In windows "\r" acts as the line separator. The regular expression "\r?" matches the line endings.The split() method of the String class accepts a value representing a regular expression and splits the current string into array of tokens (words), treating the string between the occurrence of two matches as one token.Therefore, if you want to split a string with line endings as delimiter, invoke the split() method on the input string by passing the above specified regular expression as a parameter.Example Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; public class RegexExample {    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.out.println("Enter your input ...

The java.util.regex.MatcheResult interface provides methods to retrieve the results of a matchYou can get an object of this interface using the toMatchResult() method of the Matcher class. This method returns a MatchResult object which represents the match state of the current matcher.The group(int group) method of this interface accepts an integer value representing a particular group and returns a string value representing the matched substring from the given input sequence, in the specified group during the last match.Example Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.MatchResult; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class GroupExample {    public static void main( String args[] ) {   ...
