How to match a set of characters (letter + any single character from set + letter) using RegEx in Kotlin

1 Answer

0 votes
// b[aeou]y: This pattern looks for strings that match the following:
// b: The letter "b".
// [aeou]: Any single character that is either "a", "e", "o", or "u".
// y: The letter "y".

import java.util.regex.Pattern

fun checkPattern(pattern: String, text: String): Boolean {
    val re = Pattern.compile(pattern, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE)
    val matcher = re.matcher(text)
    
    return matcher.find()
}

fun main() {
    val pattern = "b[aeou]y"
    
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "A smart Boy")) // b/B o y
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "I want to buy this laptop")) // b u y
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "baay"))
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "baeouy"))
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "baey"))
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "This is beauty"))
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "A programming book"))
}
