Please help urgent.
Hi i have a string which i get after converting a Map<String, Object> to a string by calling a toString method on the map.
Now i want to reconstruct the Map<String,String> by the String which i created earlier. How can i do it with regularexpression ? please help the patter will look like {Hello2=hi2, hello1=hi1}

Is it really, really urgent? Or just mildly urgent?
I know how to do it with for loop but not with regular expressions. Can you please help
You will only get help if you can provide an answer to these questions:Why should we drop everything to help you?What makes you more important than everyone else asking for help?
could you post your code...note: next time don't post with a title "Please help urgent"
* Your subject line contains no useful information at all.
* You tried to foist your urgency off on those who would help you, even though that urgency is yours alone.
* You showed no evidence of having tried anything yourself.
Therefore, I, for one, will not even consider helping you. Maybe somebody else will, maybe not. Good luck.
Somehow I'm guessing he won't label his next post "urgent"

I'd like to see them enitile their threads "FREE BEER!"

Now let me ask a simple question first: Why did you discard that Map in the first place if you needed to use it again?

Because he wants a different Map. One is String, Object and the new one is String, String
Maybe.
pointlessly futile question anyway. You can't get there from here, or even if you could why would you?

No, good question.I think in some cases it can be useful to convert a map to a string and later rebuild the map from a string.For example when multiple sort of data have to be stored in a file, with generic save and load functions that take only strings.
... and if all the objects can be losslessly and unambiguously converted to Strings and back, which requires that they contain no binary data, which cuts out 99% of the useful data formats in the world ... and as long as you don't mind the parsing and space overheads ...
Java does already contain Serialization and XML for this kind of thing.
And there is no evidence the OP is round-tripping through a file. Maybe he is just tripping ...
I would keep hold of the original Map myself and wreak some magic on it.
