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

Hi: I am trying to match a string to my regular expression and then capture certain groups from the string. I know previously there is no such feature , but I am just wondering if there is one now? Basically , what am trying to do is, insert strings into the session, and carry out the reasoning to see if matches a certain regular expression. In JAVA I did it as 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; } The purpose is to extract the data in the strings using drools. Could you please give me some idea I I could do that in Drools? Many thx. -- View this message in context: http://drools.46999.n3.nabble.com/Extracting-data-from-strings-regular-ex...
