Below examples illustrate the MatchResult.end() method:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate end() method   import java.util.regex.*;   public class GFG {     public static void main(String[] args)     {           // Get the regex to be checked         String regex = "(G*s)" ;           // Create a pattern from regex         Pattern pattern             = Pattern.compile(regex);           // Get the String to be matched         String stringToBeMatched             = "GeeksForGeeks" ;           // Create a matcher for the input String         MatchResult matcher             = pattern                   .matcher(stringToBeMatched);           while (((Matcher)matcher).find()) {             // Get the last index of match result             System.out.println(matcher.end());         }     } } |
