how to get text with using substring - android

I try to get only this part "9916-4203" in "Region Code:9916-4203 " in android. How can I do this?
I tried below code, I used substring method but it doesn't work:
firstNumber = Integer.parseInt(message.substring(11, 19));

If you know that string contains "Region Code:" couldn't you do a replace?
message = message.replace("Region Code:", "");

Assumed that you have only one phone number in your String, the following will remove any non-digit characters and parse the resulting number:
public static int getNumber(String num){
String tmp = "";
for(int i=0;i<num.length();i++){
if(Character.isDigit(num.charAt(i)))
tmp += num.charAt(i);
}
return Integer.parseInt(tmp);
}
Output in your case: 99164203
And as already mentioned, you won't be able to parse any String to Integer in case there are any non-digit characters

Im going to guess that what you want to extract is the full region code text minus the title. So maybe using regex would be a good simple fit for you?
String myString = "Region Code:9916-4203";
String match = "";
String pattern = "\:(.*)";
Pattern regEx = Pattern.compile(pattern);
Matcher m = regEx.matcher(myString);
// Find instance of pattern matches
Matcher m = regEx.matcher(myString);
if (m.find()) {
match = m.group(0);
}
Variable match will contain "9916-4203"
This should work for you.
Java code sourced from http://android-elements.blogspot.in/2011/04/regular-expressions-in-android.html

In Java the substring() method works with the first parameter being inclusive and the second parameter being exclusive. Meaning "Hello".substring(0, 2); will result in the string He.
In addition to excluding the parsing of something that isn't a number like #Opiatefuchs mentioned, your substring method should instead be message.substring(12, 21).

I have this strings: https://regex101.com/r/7Er0Ch/6
I want put all my http://esupb.tabriz.ir:808x/srvSC.svc into array list.So in order to i used matcher like blow:
String regx= "#\\d+#";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regx);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(url);
String[] metadata = new String[4];
while (matcher.find()) {
metadata[0] = matcher.group(1);
metadata[1] = matcher.group(2);
metadata[2] = matcher.group(3);
metadata[3] = matcher.group(4);
}
but I got not appropriate result. What is my mistake?
From requirement your regex will be
"(#\d+#)(http[^#]*svc)(#\d+#)"
group(0): (#\\d+#)(http[^#]*svc)(#\\d+#)
group(1): (#\\d+#)
group(2): (http[^#]*svc)
group(3): (#\\d+#)
Change your code to
List<String> urls = new ArrayList<>();
String url =
"#1#http://test.com:8080/srv.svc#1# " +
"#2#http://test.com:8081/srv.svc#2# " +
"#3#http://test.com:8082/srv.svc#3# " +
"#4#http://test.com:8083/srv.svc#4# " +
"#5#http://test.com:8084/srv.svc#5# ";
String regx = "(#\\d+#)(http[^#]*svc)(#\\d+#)";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regx);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(url);
int from = 0;
while (matcher.find(from)) {
urls.add(matcher.group(2));
from = matcher.start() + 1;
}
You regex #\\d+#matches # followed by matching one or more times a digit and then another # .It does not use capturing groups.
For your example data you could remove that match from the string giving you the desired result leaving out matching any pattern for the string that is left. It could also match inside the string instead of only at the start and the end.
To match your example string(s) like http://esupb.tabriz.ir:808x/srvSC.svc you might use your regex to match the start and the end, and capture in a group what is in between.
^#\d+#(https?://test.ir:808\d/srvSC\.svc)#\d+#$
In Java
^#\\d+#(https?://test.ir:808\\d/srvSC\\.svc)#\\d+#$
Regex demo
Demo Java
Explanation
^ Assert the start of the string
#\d+# Match #, one or more times a digit and another #
( Start capturing group
https?://test.ir:808\d Match the start of the url with an optional s s? and a digit after 808. Use \d+ to match one or more digits.
/srvSC\.svc Match /srvSC.svc
#\d+# Match #, one or more times a digit and another #
) Close caputring group
$ Assert the end of the string

Parsing a string?

So I have the following string:
String text = "\t\t\torder #168\n\t\t\tpaid\n\t\t\tview 4 items\n\t\t\tpicked up\n\t\t\tcomplete pickup\n\t\t\t2 stops";
How do I parse this string so that I always get the 2 in front of stops? I have tried the following, but it always returns 2 stops.
String substr = "complete pickup";
String numberOfStops = text.substring(text.indexOf(substr) + substr.length());
numberOfStops = numberOfStops.replaceAll("^\\s+","").replaceAll("\\s+$","");
The short way:
numberOfStops = numberOfStops.replaceAll("^\\s+","").replaceAll("\\s+$","").replace("stops","");
The flexible way is using Regex, and Pattern and Match classes. Let me know if you need it

regex skips the first match

The regex
.*([0-9]{3}\\.[0-9]{2}).*
finds one match in "some short sentence 111.01 ", but it failed to match the first occurrence "111.01" in "some short sentence 111.01 & 222.02 "
I tried the lazy quantifier .*([0-9]{3}\\.[0-9]{2})?.* or .*([0-9]{3}\\.[0-9]{2}).*? for no avail.
Please help, I need to get both occurrences, here is my code.
Thank you
Pattern myPattern = Pattern.compile(".*([0-9]{3}\\.[0-9]{2}).*");
Matcher m = myPattern.matcher(mystring);
while (m.find()) {
String found = m.group(1);
}
you need to remove ".*"s. Try this:
String mystring = "some short sentence 111.01 & 222.02 ";
Pattern myPattern = Pattern.compile("([0-9]{3}\\.[0-9]{2})");
Matcher m = myPattern.matcher(mystring);
while(m.find()) {
System.out.println("Found value: " + m.group(1) );
}
output:
Found value: 111.01
Found value: 222.02
The leading and trailing ".*" cause you to match the entire string in one match. All the lazy quantifier does in your case is controls you getting the first, not last, occurrence in the subject.

Regular expression with hebrew

I have text like:
לשלום קוראים לי משהmy test is עלות 39.40, כל מיני data 1.1.2015 ויש גם data 123456 מידע
This text have Hebrew and English characters, I need to eliminate all except the 6 digit number (may be 5, this num: 123456).
Can you help me with regular expression for this?
Tried:
String patternS = "[אבגדהוזחטיכךלמםנןסעפףצץקרשתa-fA-F0-9]{5,10}.*";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternString);
With no success
To match everything except the number use:
\d+(?:[^\d]\d+)+|[\p{L}\p{M}\p{Z}\p{P}\p{S}\p{C}]+
String resultString = subjectString.replaceAll("\\d+(?:[^\\d]\\d+)+|[\\p{L}\\p{M}\\p{Z}\\p{P}\\p{S}\\p{C}]+", "");
This will give you every 6 didgit combination in your string.
(\d{6,6})
We can't give you a more detailled regex since we do now know the pattern of those strings.
In case there is always the "data " prefix you can also use this to make the pattern more accurate:
data (\d{6,6})
Try something like this:
String patternS = "(\d{5,6})";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternS);
Matcher m = pattern.matcher(yourText);
int number = Integer.parseInt(m.group(1));
where yourText is the Hebrew/English text you want to match.
This would work for this specific example.
String s = " לשלום קוראים לי מש my test is עלות 39.40, כל מיני data 1.1.2015 ויש גם data 123456 מידע1234";
System.out.println(s.replaceAll(".*\\b(\\d{5,6})\\b.*", "$1"));

How do I match the pattern in android

I am currently working on an android project. I would like to know if a string contains the '\r' or '\n' as the last character. How to do the pattern match?
Try this.
String string = "stackoverflow";
lastchar = string.substring(string.length() - 1);
It will give you the result "w".
try
String patterntomatch ="^[_A-Za-z0-9-]*(\r\n)$";
Pattern pattern=Pattern.compile(patterntomatch);
Matcher matcher=pattern.matcher(matchfromedittext);
boolean matcher.matches();
String last = your_string.substring(Math.max(your_string.length() - 2, 0));
//It will give you the last 2 characters of the string. If the string is null
//or has less than 2 characters, then it gives you the original string.
if(last.equals("\r") || last.equals("\n")){
//String's last two characters are either \n or \r. Now do something.
}
