#10875 — regex; ^ and $

Perl guy learning Java.

Java's use of including line boundaries arguments, ^ and $, in
matcher, and then not using them in other string replace functions is
fine I guess; I'll get used to it.

I was wondering if there was a more perl like regex class out there
that others might be using.

'Matcher' and 'Pattern' are what you got.

What exactly do you mean by "perl like [sic]"?

Of which "other string replace functions" do you speak?  If you're talking 
about the 'String' class, it does not claim to be a full regex implementation 
as 'Matcher' and 'Pattern' do.

In what respects _specifically_ do 'Matcher' and 'Pattern' fall short for you?

If you really want to program in Perl, you might not want to use Java to do so.

I should always wait another hour before posting.  I've answered my
own question once again. :-)

Thanks Roedy, I've been looking for a good reference site for regex.

Java docs actually provides a good overview:
