named-regexp 0.2.3

This lightweight library adds support for named capture groups in Java 5/6 (and on Android).

This is a fork of the named-regexp project from Google Code (currently inactive).

Usage

You can use the same constructs for named capture groups from Java 7 (i.e., (?<name>patt), etc.), as in the following example:

import com.google.code.regexp.Pattern;
import com.google.code.regexp.Matcher;

public class NamedRegexpTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // pattern contains capture group, named "foo"
        Matcher m = Pattern.compile("(?<foo>\\w+) world").matcher("hello world!");
        m.find();
        System.out.println(m.group("foo")); // prints "hello"
    }
}
