Hi everyone,

I`m working in a java program that has to check the sintax of an url.

This sintax is as follows:

       {rmt or fos or win or los or}/content.xml

ie. one of this words(rmt,fos,win,..) slash and the word content.xml

I'm using the function string.matches(string regex) and I having problems in finding the correct regular expression for this url.

This is the regular exp I thought of and which doesnt work:

url.matches("[fos|rmt|inc|inf|los|res|all]//[content.xml]")

Thanks for the help.

Tomi.

Those square brackets enclose a character class.

How about:

url.matches("^(fos|rmt|inc|inf|los|res|all)?//content.xml$")

Should work, but not tested. BTW the ^ and $ mean start and end of the string.

HTH
