Regex for matching strings between '=' and '/' or "=" and end of strin-CodePudding

I am looking for regex which can help me replace strings like

source=abc/task=cde/env=it --> source='abc'/task='cde'/env='it'

Tried code like this : "source=abc/task=cde/env=it".replaceAll("=(.*?)/","'$1'") but getting final string = source'abc'task'cde'env=it

CodePudding user response：

Try

String input = "source=abc/task=cde/env=it".replaceAll("=(.*?)(/|$)","='$1'/");

The problems I found are that you are not replacing the = and also the / is not there for the end of String, that also needs to be replaced when found.

output

source='abc'/task='cde'/env='it'/

If you don't want the last '/', that is trivial to remove isn't it.

CodePudding user response：

Using lookahead and look behind:

(?<==)([^/]*)((?=/)|$)

It also matches the end of the String.

@Test 
public void test_quote_items() {
    String regex = "(?<==)([^/]*)((?=/)|$)";
    String actual = "source=abc/task=cde/env=it".replaceAll(regex,"'$1'");
    String expected = "source='abc'/task='cde'/env='it'";
    assertEquals(expected, actual);

}
