java 正则 标点符号,关于标点符号的正则表达式

So I'm completely new to regular expressions, and I'm trying to use Java's java.util.regex to find punctuation in input strings. I won't know what kind of punctuation I might get ahead of time, except that (1) !, ?, ., ... are all valid puncutation, and (2) "" mean something special, and don't count as punctuation.

The program itself builds phrases pseudo-randomly, and I want to strip off the punctuation at the end of a sentence before it goes through the random process.

I can match entire words with any punctuation, but the matcher just gives me indexes for that word. In other words:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(.*\\!)*?");

Matcher m = p.matcher([some input string]);

will grab any words with a "!" on the end. For example:

String inputString = "It is a warm Summer day!";

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(.*\\!)*?");

Matcher m = p.matcher(inputString);

String match = inputString.substring(m.start(), m.end());

results in --> String match ~ "day!"

But I want to have Matcher index just the "!", so I can just split it off.

I could probably make cases, and use String.substring(...) for each kind of punctuation I might get, but I'm hoping there's some mistake in my use of regular expressions to do this.

I would try a character class regex similar to

"[.!?\\-]"

Add whatever characters you wish to match inside the []s. Be careful to escape any characters that might have a special meaning to the regex parser.

You then have to iterate through the matches by using Matcher.find() until it returns false.
