Java illegal escape character ошибка - Не ошибается лишь тот, кто ничего не делает!

I’m working on a solution to a previous question, as best as I can, using regular expressions. My pattern is

"d{4}w{3}(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])([01][0-9]|2[0-3])([0-5][0-9]){2}"

According to NetBeans, I have two illegal escape characters. I’m guessing it has to do with the d and w, but those are both valid in Java. Perhaps my syntax for a Java regular expression is off…

The entire line of code that is involved is:

userTimestampField = new FormattedTextField(
  new RegexFormatter(
    "d{4}w{3}(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])([01][0-9]|2[0-3])([0-5][0-9]){2}"
));

Assuming this regex is inside a Java String literal, you need to escape the backslashes for your d and w tags:

"\d{4}\w{3}(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])([01][0-9]|2[0-3])([0-5][0-9]){2}"

This gets more, well, bonkers frankly, when you want to match backslashes:

public static void main(String[] args) {        
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\\\\"); //ERM, YEP: 8 OF THEM
    String s = "\\";
    Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
    System.out.println(s);
    System.out.println(m.matches());
}

\ //JUST TO MATCH TWO SLASHES :(

Did you try "\d" and "\w"?

-edit-
Lol I posted the right answer and get down voted and then I notice that stackoverflow escapes backslashes so my answer appeared wrong

What about the following: \d{4}\w{3}(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])([01][0-9]|2[0-3])([0-5][0-9]){2}

answered Sep 4, 2009 at 13:23

Have you tried this?

\d{4}\w{3}(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])([01][0-9]|2[0-3])([0-5][0-9]){2}

all you need to do is to put

 *
 ex: string ex = 'this is the character: *\s';

before your invalid character and not 8 !!!!!

I had a similar because I was trying to escape characters such as -,*$ which are special characters in regular expressions but not in java.

Basically, I was developing a regular expression https://regex101.com/ and copy pasting it to java.

I finally realized that because java takes regex as string literals, the only characters that should be escaped are the special characters in java ie. and «

So in this case \d should work.
However, anyone having a similar problem like me in the future, only escaped double quotes and backslashes.

I think you need to add the two escaped shortcuts into character classes. Try this: "[d]{4}[w]{3}(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])([01][0-9]|2[0-3])([0-5][0-9]){2}"

—Good Luck.

I have done my .java file that changes registry data. But I am getting «illegal escape character» error on the line where Runtime.getRuntime().exec exists. Where is my mistake ?

import java.util.*;
import java.applet.Applet; 
import java.awt.*; 

class test {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
      try {
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec("REG ADD 'HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain' /V 'Start Page' /D 'http://www.stackoverflow.com/' /F");
      } catch (Exception e) {
          System.out.println("Error ocured!");
      }
  }
}

You need to escape the backslashes used in your path.

String windowsPath = "\Users\FunkyGuy\My Documents\Hello.txt";

You need to escape with another , so replace with \ in your input string.

You need to escape the backslash characters in your registry path string:

"REG ADD `HKCU\Software\ ...

The backslash character has a special meaning in strings: it’s used to introduce escape characters. if you want to use it literally in a string, then you’ll need to escape it, by using a double-backslash.

Back slashes in Java are special «escape» characters, they provide the ability to include things like tabs t and/or new lines n and lots of other fun stuff.

Needless to say, you to to «escape» them as well by adding an addition character…

'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main'

On a side note. I would use ProcessBuilder or at the very least, the version of Runtime#exec that uses array arguments.

It will save a lot of hassle when it comes to dealing with spaces within command parameters, IMHO

you need replace escape with \

below code will work

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("REG ADD 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main' /V 'Start Page' /D 'http://www.stackoverflow.com/' /F");

Ссылка:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#sum

Лучший ответ:

вам нужно убежать d и p с дополнительной обратной косой чертой, поскольку они не являются допустимыми escape-последовательностями.

"^[A-Za-z][d]{4}$"

должно быть

"^[A-Za-z][\d]{4}$"

а также

"^[A-Za-z][p{Digit}]{4}$"

должно быть

"^[A-Za-z][\p{Digit}]{4}$"

Ответ №1

Использовать escape-символ

Pattern.compile("^[A-Za-z][\p{Digit}]{4}$");

Pattern.compile("^[A-Za-z][\d]{4}$");

См. Пример примера LIVE DEMO

import java.util.regex.*;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Pattern replace = Pattern.compile("^[A-Za-z][\d]{4}$");
Matcher matcher1 = replace.matcher("A1234");
System.out.println("Output of A1234 = " + matcher1.replaceAll("ITS REPLACED"));
Matcher matcher2 = replace.matcher("F87652");
System.out.println("Output of F87652 = " + matcher2.replaceAll("ITS REPLACED"));
}
}

ВЫВОД:

Output of A1234 = ITS REPLACED
Output of F87652 = F87652

Ответ №2

В игре есть два уровня: вы пишете регулярное выражение внутри литерала строки Java в исходном файле. Прежде всего, часть Java String должна быть правильно экранирована, и здесь, где ошибка illegal escape character возникает из: d недействительна в любом литерале Java String, даже если вы пишете регулярное выражение. Компилятор javac – это тот, который собирается прочитать этот текст и преобразовать его во внутреннее значение String, и в этом значении \ будет неизолировано и на самом деле появится соответствующий d.

Во время выполнения, когда на самом деле создается регулярное выражение, оно увидит неизменяемое строковое значение, таким образом, d, которое будет правильно интерпретировано как десятичная ссылка.

Подскажите, пожалуйста
при такой записи получается ошибка Illegal escape character in string literal. хотя должен указывать на то, что ? это символ, а не квантификатор
(хочу отбросить первую часть строки, до символа ?)

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        String url = reader.readLine();
        reader.close();

        String result = url.split("?")[1];

прокатило только так, но это же неправильно? должны работать хотя бы круглые скобки

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        String url = reader.readLine();
        reader.close();

        String result = url.split("[?]")[1];

Hi,

I think you should write

If you want to write a in a String literal you have to write \, anyway Java compiler interprets it as an escape character. Since no such escape characters as T or d the java compiler reports an error.

Miki

Another option is using forward slashes. File is smart enough to convert those to backslashes when accessing the actual file system.

Generally speaking, when the compiler gives you an error message, it tells you more than just «illegal escape character». It will show you the line and even the exact spot it thinks the error actually is:

It GREATLY helps people help you if you post the ENTIRE message. This lets a reader instantly focus in on where the problem is, rather than having to parse you entire java file and GUESS.

Just a little helpful tip for next time.
