java 正则正确位数,使用正则表达式来掩盖Java中的最后4位数

I would like to mask the last 4 digits of the identity number (hkid)

A123456(7) -> A123***(*)

I can do this by below:

hkid.replaceAll("\\d{3}\\(\\d\\)", "***(*)")

However, can my regular expression really can match the last 4 digit and replace by "*"?

hkid.replaceAll(regex, "*")

Please help, thanks.

Personally, I wouldn't do it with regular expressions:

char[] cs = hkid.toCharArray();

for (int i = cs.length - 1, d = 0; i >= 0 && d < 4; --i) {

if (Character.isDigit(cs[i])) {

cs[i] = '*';

++d;

}

}

String masked = new String(cs);

This goes from the end of the string, looking for digit characters, which it replaces with a *. Once it's found 4 (or reaches the start of the string), it stops iterating, and builds a new string.
