java - Will this regex always work according to requirements stated below? -


is regex correct break sentence 3 tokens:

  1. characters before lowercased letters inside parentheses
  2. lowercase letters inside parentheses including parentheses
  3. characters after lowercased parentheses letters

system.out.println("this (a) test".matches("^(.*)?\\([a-z]*\\)(.*)?$"));

the string may or may not have parentheses lower cased letter , may appear anywhere in sentence. if see flaw in use case haven't considered, can provide correction in regex ?

for e.g. above.

group1 captures  group2 captures (a) group3 captures  test

edit:: how change regex achieve following ?

if string has (foo)(bar)(baz) how capture group1= empty group2=(foo) , group3=empty. , find above pattern thrice because there 3 parentheses.

separate examining regex, whenever write regex, write series of unit tests cover each case. i'd suggest same. create 4 tests (at least) using regex , testing against strings:

  • (a) test
  • this (a) test
  • this test (a)
  • this test

that should cover each of cases you've described. that's easier , faster trying hand analyze regex each case.

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua
