Get an array of strings matching pattern in a given string

Question

I have a @@{} pattern and I need a string, I need to find out all the lines between the curly braces.

Example: If my string is Hi This is @@{first} and second is @@{second} along with third @@{third} string

The output I expect is a string array consisting of elements:

 first second third 

My Java code for this is as follows:

 Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\@\\@\\{(.+?)\\}"); Matcher match = p.matcher("Hi This is @@{first} and second is @@{second} along" + "with third @@{third} string"); while(match.find()) { System.out.println(match.group()); } 

But the conclusion that I get is

 @@{first} @@{second} @@{third} 

Tell me how to get the desired result and what mistake I am making.

Answer 1

Change match.group() to match.group(1) . In addition, @ does not require shielding.
