Validating a string which contains Numbers, Characters Or Space in Java

I am not sure what you mean by validating in this case but here is a method that might help. In this example you use regular experssions to find a particular subString in a String.

Example:

String greatings = "Hello World! and Happy World!";

IsPattern("Happy", greatings);

where greatings "IsPattern" function is:

private boolean IsPattern(String aSearch, String aPropert) {

aSearch = aSearch.replaceAll("\\*", ".*");

Pattern patern = Pattern.compile(aSearch);

CharSequence input = aPropert;

Matcher match = patern.matcher(input);

return match.find();

}

The return value is true in this example.

I hope this helps.
