Regex.. why isn't this matching?

[Brad Walton]

Can't figure out why this isn't matching. It looks ok to me, and works fine when I test in Perl.

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
 
public class UserStat
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\\\t)+(.+)\\\\n");

String line;
Matcher m;

line = "Score: \\t70\\n";
System.out.println(line);
m = p.matcher(line);
if (m.matches())
{
System.out.println("Match! " + m.group(2));
}

line = "State: \\t\\tIn some State\\n";
System.out.println(line);
m = p.matcher(line);
if (m.matches())
{
System.out.println("Match! " + m.group(2));
}
}
}

Thanks for any help.

Edit: Should have mentioned, I am trying to match on the data between \t and \n.

Try using m.find() instead of m.matches(). Find looks for your pattern anywhere within the input string, while matches() only looks to see if it matches the entire string, from beginning to end.

Ehh.. nevermind. Should have been m.find(), not m.matches(). I think it's time to put the keyboard away for the day.

Edit: Thanks Mike, I found the problem and was typing this as you were typing I guess.
