I tested your patterns and everything seems to be fine. The last two
obviously don't match because they don't include a space in the character
class. Perhaps you are using an older version of the library. I don't
recall any issues with the awk package, but there may have been a bug
that was fixed. Here's the test program tested against version 2.0.8:
import org.apache.oro.text.regex.*;
import org.apache.oro.text.awk.*;
public class example {
public static final String[] PATTERNS = {
"^ISIN\\s[A-Z]{12}",
"^ISIN[\\s]{1}[A-Z]{12}",
"^ISIN [A-Z]{12}",
"^ISIN[\\n\\f\\r\\t]{1}[A-Z]{12}",
"^ISIN[\\n\\f\\r\\t][A-Z]{12}"
};
public final static void main(String[] args) {
AwkCompiler compiler = new AwkCompiler();
AwkMatcher matcher = new AwkMatcher();
try {
for(int i = 0; i < PATTERNS.length; ++i) {
Pattern pattern = compiler.compile(PATTERNS[i]);
System.out.println(matcher.matches("ISIN AAAAAAAAAAAA", pattern));
}
} catch(MalformedPatternException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
}
}
Here's my run:
/tmp> javac example.java
/tmp> java example
true
true
true
false
false
As I indicated, the last two fail because they lack a space in the
character class. Hope that helps.
