Edit Question
Title
Body
I have an odd problem with a regular expression in Java. I tested my Regex and my value here and it works. It says there are 3 groups (correct) the match for the first group (not group zero!) is SSS, the match for group 2 is BB and the match for group 3 is 0000. But my code below fails and I am quite at a loss why... String pattern = "([^-]*)-([\\D]*)([\\d]*)"; String value = "SSS-BB0000"; Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile(pattern).matcher(value); //group() is equivalent to group(0) - it fails to match though matcher.group(); Here is a screenshot from the matching result of the above website: I'd be really grateful if anyone could point out the mistake I am making... On an additional note: Strangely enough, if I execute the following code true is returned which implies a match should be possible... //returns true Pattern.matches(pattern, value);
