Thread: Pattern matching via regular expression

I have to match all lines having the words 'Current configuration' anywhere in the line(beginning/end/middle)

Then in Pattern.matches(regExp, line), what must be the regExp?
regExp = "^Current configuration" is not working.

Thanks in advance,
Kakoli

the Pattern.matches(...) must match the entire String. I'm not sure why you have the carrot, ^, in your regex. Consider adding some wild cards on both sides of your String though.

Sorry, a correction.
I have to match all lines having the words 'Current configuration' only at the beginning of the line.

Then in Pattern.matches(regExp, line), what must be the regExp?
regExp = "^Current configuration" is not working.

If the line only has Current configuration, then your text should work, but if there's text afterward, it needs to be included.

regExp = "^Current configuration.*";
or some such.

Thanks, it worked!
