Some regexp problems

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

I'm using Java 6.  I'm trying to write a regexp, which is failing, but
I can't figure out why (same expression works in Perl).  Here is my
code ...

						final Pattern addPattern = Pattern.compile("\\s*ADD\\s+([^\\s]+)\
\s*", Pattern.MULTILINE);
						final Matcher addMatcher = addPattern.matcher(cellValue);

but the call "addMatcher.matches()" returns false for Strings that
look like they match to me.  Here is one of them

   cellValue = "ADD 6CCRASR.1         ADD 6CCRASR.2               ADD
6CCRASR.3           ADD 6CCRASR.5               ADD 6CCRASR.
10             ADD 6CCRASL.3                ADD 6CCRASL.5\nADD 6RSL.
1\nADD 6RSL.2\nADD 6RSL.3\nADD 6RSL.5\nADD 6RSL.10\nADD 6RSIT.1\nADD
6RSIT.2\nADD 6RSIT.3\nADD 6RSIT.5\nADD 6RSIT.10\nADD 6LS.5.b  "

The "\n"'s are newline characters.  Any idea what is wrong with the
above regexp or my code?  Thanks, - Dave
