Basic regular expression help
Author
So I'd like to be able to search a string for anything that matches this sequence:
:<any number of letters and/or numbers>:
For example,
String line = "LB1:LB2: blah"
What would be the regular expression to match this?
Thanks.
1) What regular expression dialect are you using? (eg. Perl regular expressions, Java script, etc.)
2) You can use this site you interactively test regular expressions (albeit javascript regular expressions, it should be close enough).

Sorry, Perl regular expressions (more precisely, regular expressions in Java, which are Perl regular expressions).

Hah cool. So it turns out this regular expression matches my needs:
:[a-zA-Z0-9]*:
Thanks for the tip fpsgamer!
