Module 9: Advanced Core Features

Regular Expressions, Pattern & Matcher

Parse text with regex using the Pattern/Matcher APIs.

Compile regex patterns once (Pattern.compile) to avoid reparsing.

Use named groups ((?<area>\d{3})) and Matcher.group("area") for clarity.

Beware catastrophic backtracking—anchor patterns and keep quantifiers specific.
