Regular Expression Metacharacter in Java
The subexpression/metacharacter “\t” matches the tab spaces.
Example 1
import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class RegexExample { public static void main( String args[] ) { String regex = "\t"; Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter a string: "); String input = sc.nextLine(); Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regex); Matcher m = p.matcher(input); int count = 0; while(m.find()) { count ++; } System.out.println("Number of tab spaces: "+count); } }
Output
Enter a string: This is a sentence with tab spaces Number of tab spaces: 6
