The inline modifier can also contain pattern characters using the form (?x:abc)
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
CharSequence inputStr = "a b";
String patternStr = "a b";
// Compile without comments
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternStr);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
boolean matchFound = matcher.matches();
// Compile with comments
pattern = Pattern.compile(patternStr, Pattern.COMMENTS);
matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
matchFound = matcher.matches(); // false
// Use an inline modifier
matchFound = pattern.matches("a b", inputStr);
matchFound = pattern.matches("(?x)a b", inputStr);
}
}
