java 空格转义字符,在java中基于空格分割一个字符串，用双引号和单引号转义那些空格以及前面带有\的空格...

I am totally new to regular expressions. I'm trying to put together an expression that will split the example string using all spaces that are not surrounded by single or double quotes and are not preceded by a '\'

Eg:-

He is a "man of his" words\ always

must be split as

He

is

a

"man of his"

words\ always

I understand

List matchList = new ArrayList();

Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("[^\\s\"']+|\"[^\"]*\"|'[^']*'");

Matcher regexMatcher = regex.matcher(StringToBeMatched);

while (regexMatcher.find()) {

matchList.add(regexMatcher.group());

}

l split the example string using all spaces that are not surrounded by single or double quotes

How do I incorporate the third condition of ignoring the white-space if it is preceded by a \ ??

解决方案

You can use this regex:

((["']).*?\2|(?:[^\\ ]+\\\s+)+[^\\ ]+|\S+)

In Java:

Pattern regex = Pattern.compile

( "(([\"']).*?\2|(?:[^\\\\ ]+\\\\\s+)+[^\\\\ ]+|\\S+)" );

Explanation:

This regex works on alternation:

First match ([\"']).*?\\2 to match any quoted (double or single) strings.

Then match (?:[^\\ ]+\\\s+)+[^\\ ]+ to match any string with escaped spaces.

Finally Use \S+ to match any word with no spaces.
