Groovy正則表示式

Regular expressions are the Swiss Army knife of text processing. They provide the programmer the ability to match and extract patterns from strings. The simplest example of a regular expression is a string of letters and numbers. And the simplest expression involving a regular expression uses the ==~

operator. So for example to match Dan Quayle's spelling of 'potato':





Regular Expression Operators
a? matches 0 or 1 occurrence of *a* 'a' or empty string
a* matches 0 or more occurrences of *a* empty string or 'a', 'aa', 'aaa', etc
a+ matches 1 or more occurrences of *a* 'a', 'aa', 'aaa', etc
a|b match *a* or *b* 'a' or 'b' -
. match any single character 'a', 'q', 'l', '_', '+', etc
[woeirjsd] match any of the named characters 'w', 'o', 'e', 'i', 'r', 'j', 's', 'd'
[1-9] match any of the characters in the range '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9'
[^13579] match any characters not named even digits, or any other character
(ie) group an expression (for use with other operators) 'ie'
^a match an *a* at the beginning of a line 'a'
a$ match an *a* at the end of a line 'a'
There are a couple of other things you should know. If you want to use one of the operators above to
 mean the actual character, like you want to match a question mark, you need to put a '/' in front of it.
For example:
