Regular Expressions

I have a directory that contains files such as:

12345.log.1

45789.log.10

95214.log.120

etc....

I have tried to come up with a regular expression that will find files of this type but have come up empty handed. Anyone have any idea how to construct such an expression. Basically I need a filter such as *.log*

I'm using it in a FileNameFilter to return name.matches(*.log*)

# 1

name.matches(".+\\.log\\..+");will match anything that has .log. in the middle with at least one character before and at least one after.

File directory = new File(".");

File[] files = directory.listFiles(new FileFilter() {

public boolean accept(File file) {

return file.getName().matches(".*\\.log\\..*");

}

});

Edit:

Yes, or the '+' sign as jverd suggested (* means zero or more, + means one or more and the . (dot) means any character).
