如果想要檢查一個字串a是否包含另一字串b, 我們會用a.contains(b)
如果想要檢查一個字串a是否由另一字串b開始, 我們會用a.startsWith(b)
如果想要以字串b為基準對a取子字串, 我們會用a.substring(a.lastIndexOf(b)+b.size)
...
以上種種字串比對, 其實也可以透過Regular Expression來達成(JDK 1.4開始支援)
Regex這個class就是讓你輕輕鬆鬆!?使用Regular Expression
要產生Regex的pattern有幾種方式:
第一種就如同以下的範例, 透過字串的r函式就可以產生Regex的物件,
(其實String沒有r函式, 而是透過implicit轉換成WrappedString才找到的, 不知道implicit是什麼的話可以參考
這篇)
用三層引號則是要省掉跳脫內層反斜線的麻煩
接下來在比對字串的時候可以直接把比對pattern之後每個對應的群組抽出來,
就像以下範例將日期分成年月日三個群組,
用起來很容易但壞處就是比對失敗就會馬上有錯誤訊息跳出來.
scala> val dateP1 = """(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)""".r
dateP1: scala.util.matching.Regex = (\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)
scala> val dateP1(year, month, day) = "2011-07-15"
year: String = 2011
month: String = 07
day: String = 15
scala> val dateP1(year, month, day) = "2011-7-15"
scala.MatchError: 2011-7-15 (of class java.lang.String)

或是你可以考慮用findFirstIn, findFirstMatchIn等等Regex提供的函式來比對,
就算比對失敗也是拿到None, 讓你可以比較無痛的做接下來的處理.
scala> val copyright: String = dateP1 findFirstIn "Date of this document: 2011-07-15" match {
| case Some(dateP1(year, month, day)) => "Copyright "+year
| case None => "No copyright"
| }
copyright: String = Copyright 2011
scala> val copyright: String = dateP1 findFirstIn "Date of this document: 2011-7-15" match {
| case Some(dateP1(year, month, day)) => "Copyright "+year
| case None => "No copyright"
| }
copyright: String = No copyright
另一種產生Regex的方法就是老老實實的用建構式囉!
