java 正则表达式后缀,如何在java中使用正则表达式匹配字符串结尾

I want a regular expression pattern that will match with the end of a string.

I'm implementing a stemming algorithm that will remove suffixes of a word.

e.g. for a word 'Developers' it should match 's'.

i can do it using following code :

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("s");

Matcher m = p.matcher("Developers");

m.relaceAll(" "); // it will replace all 's' with ' '

i want a regular expression that will match only a string's end.

basically i want a method replaceLast().

You need to match "s", but only if it is the last character in a word. This is achieved with the boundary assertion $:

input.replaceAll("s$", " ");

If you enhance the regular expression, you can replace multiple suffixes with one call to replaceAll:

input.replaceAll("(ed|s)$", " ");
