Hi, I'm starting to use the oro packages I'd like to use the following code: The problem is that result is null. Can anyone explain why? Thanks
org.apache.oro.text.regex.Pattern OROpattern=null; PatternMatcherInput __content= new PatternMatcherInput("<a href='http://www.test.com'>test</a>"); PatternMatcher __matcher; PatternCompiler compiler; MatchResult result=null; compiler = new Perl5Compiler(); __matcher = new Perl5Matcher(); try { OROpattern = compiler.compile("m#href=#"); } catch(MalformedPatternException e) { System.out.println("Bad pattern."); System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } while(__matcher.contains(__content,OROpattern)) { result = __matcher.getMatch(); System.err.println("result was found"); } System.err.println("result is "+result); Ralph Shano Java Software Developer OceanLake Inc. 347 Bay St. Suite 1100 Toronto, Ontario M5H 2R7 416-203-1677 ext. 309
