regex question
hi, with this code (thanks to sabre150) i can find the three first words:
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("^(\\w+)\\s+(\\w+)\\s+(\\w+)");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(partDesc);
here, regex has defined what a word is, i would like to set up the definitions for what a word is myself so i started off with something easy:
("^((a-zA-Z+)((\\.a-zA-z)|\\s)) instead of ("^(\\w+)\\s
with this one i'd like it to count capital and lower case a-z followed by a plank space or period+word+blank space as a word. this would include any normal word plus abbreviations such as "e.g".
it does compilate (word?) it alright... however when i run it, the output for this is:
java.io.IOException: Bad file descriptor

Does anyone understand why this won't work? i thought maybe it's my way of describing a period/full stop as \\.
...?
thank you in advance!
