java string matches 正则表达式,正则表达式在String.matches（）中不起作用

I have this small piece of code

String[] words = {"{apf","hum_","dkoe","12f"};

for(String s:words)

{

if(s.matches("[a-z]"))

{

System.out.println(s);

}

}

Supposed to print

dkoe

but it prints nothing!!

Welcome to Java's misnamed .matches() method... It tries and matches ALL the input. Unfortunately, other languages have followed suit :(

If you want to see if the regex matches an input text, use a Pattern, a Matcher and the .find() method of the matcher:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[a-z]");

Matcher m = p.matcher(inputstring);

if (m.find())

// match

If what you want is indeed to see if an input only has lowercase letters, you can use .matches(), but you need to match one or more characters: append a + to your character class, as in [a-z]+. Or use ^[a-z]+$ and .find().
