VERSION

public static final org.acmsl.version.Version VERSION

Concrete version object updated everytime it's checked-in in a CVS repository.

Method Detail

group

public java.lang.String group(int group)

Taken from Jakarta ORO javadoc: Returns the contents of the parenthesized subgroups of a match, counting parentheses from left to right and starting from 1. Group 0 always refers to the entire match.
For example, if the pattern foo(\d+) is used to extract a match from the input abfoo123 , then group(0) will return foo123 and group(1) will return 123 . group(2) will return null because there is only one subgroup in the original pattern.

Parameters:

group - The pattern subgroup to return.

Returns:

A string containing the indicated pattern subgroup. Group 0 always refers to the entire match. If a group was never matched, it returns null. This is not to be confused with a group matching the null string, which will return a String of length 0.

groups

public int groups()

Taken from Jakarta ORO 2.0.6 javadoc: The number of groups contained in the result. This number includes the 0th group. In other words, the result refers to the number of parenthesized subgroups plus the entire match itself..

Returns:

such value.
