/**
 * OR Class Example
 */

public class RegexDemo
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        /*
         * [abc] - Any of the elements in the set is matched
         */

        calculateMatches("[abc]", "b");
        calculateMatches("[abc]", "cab");
        calculateMatches("[abc]", "caABZ9");

        /*
         * They can also be alternated as part of a String. In the
         * following example, when we create different words by
         * alternating the first letter with each element of the set,
         * they are all matched:
         */

        calculateMatches("[bcr]at", "bat cat rat zat");

    }

    private static void calculateMatches(String regex, String inputText)
    {
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputText);
        int matches = 0;

        /*
         * The find method keeps advancing through the input text and
         * returns true for every match, so we can use it to find the
         * match count as well:
         */

        while (matcher.find())
        {
            ++matches;
        }
        System.out.println("Number of Matches = " + matches);
    }

}

Output

Number of Matches = 1
Number of Matches = 3
Number of Matches = 2
Number of Matches = 3
