[rules-users] Extracting data from strings(regular expression)

[Qiteng Hong]

Hi Laune:
Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
Actually that's what I am doing . firstly match the string in the LHS and then on the RHS I call the java method  parsingZ4_Ph_Reach()--details as followed I took it as a compromised solution but not sure how it will influence the efficiency. Any idea about this?


public double parsingZ4_Ph_Reach(String line){
>                      String regx="3240, Z4 Ph. Reach, .*, (.*), ohm,  .*, .*, .*";
>                      Pattern p=Pattern.compile(regx,Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);
>                      Matcher m =p.matcher(line);
>                      if(m.matches()){
>                            return Double.parseDouble(m.group(1));
>                      }
>                      return 0;
>               }

Thx

Although there is the "matches" operator, Drools isn't a sophisticated
regular expression engine.

Once you have matched a fact with a String line that matches some
regular expression, you'll have to reapply the regular expression on
the right hand side so that you can extract the string matching group
1. Or use simple String methods to extract this information, now that
you know that the string has a certain pattern.
