Reading Lines from a String Using a Regular Expression

This example demonstrates how to read lines from a CharSequence. The lines can be terminated with any of the legal line termination character sequences: \r, \r\n, or \n.
CharSequence inputStr = "a\rb"; // Mac inputStr = "a\r\nb"; // Windows inputStr = "a\nb"; // Unix // Compile the pattern String patternStr = "^(.*)$"; Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternStr, Pattern.MULTILINE); Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr); // Read the lines while (matcher.find()) { // Get the line with the line termination character sequence String lineWithTerminator = matcher.group(0); // Get the line without the line termination character sequence String lineWithoutTerminator = matcher.group(1); }
