PatternSyntaxException:在Java中使用正则expression式时非法重复

我不太了解正则expression式,但我需要匹配一个简单的模式。 以下应该返回true,

Pattern.matches("{\"user_id\" : [0-9]*}", inputLine) 

当inputLine是

 {"user_id" : 34} 

不过,我得到这个例外:

我究竟做错了什么?

Java和正则expression式(和其他大多数方言)中的{}是特殊的:它们是重复量词{n,m}的开始和结束标记,其中nm是整数。 因此错误消息:“非法重复”。

你应该转义他们: "\\{\"user_id\" : [0-9]*\\}"

而且由于你似乎试图parsingJSON,我build议你看看jackson 。

应该有加运算符:

 user_id : [0-9]+ 

只有当string必须包含它时,才能使用双撇号。

当包括大括号的string使用:

 \{user_id : [0-9]+\}
