java 匹配标签内容,Java正则表达式匹配以固定标签开头的多行记录

Following is an example of a list of multiline records, each starting with a fixed string label (LABEL):

...

LABEL ...

...

...

LABEL ...

...

...

LABEL ...

...

...

LABEL ...

...

...

Is there a Java regular expression that can much the above and extract each record, i.e.

LABEL ...

...

...

Also, is this the fastest way of extracting those records, or reading line-by-line and checking the start of the string would yield faster results?

解决方案

To iterate over all the LABEL groups, use this:

Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("(?sm)LABEL.*?(?=^LABEL|\\Z)");

Matcher regexMatcher = regex.matcher(subjectString);

while (regexMatcher.find()) {

// the current LABEL group: regexMatcher.group()

}

See the demo for the various matches.

Explanation

(?s) activates DOTALL mode, allowing the dot to match across lines

(?m) turns on multi-line mode, allowing ^ and $ to match on each line

LABEL matches literal characters

.*? lazily matches all chars up to...

the point where the lookahead (?=^LABEL|\\Z) can assert that what follows is the next LABEL or the end of the string
