I tried to use this site https://www.freeformatter.com/java-regex-tester.html#ad-output. But I didn’t succeed.
My Java Regular Expression :
(.*)\w+=[0-9][0-9]*$(.*)
Entry to test against :
a = 800000000000000000000000
My code needs to give true for data.matches("(.*)\w+=[0-9][0-9]*$(.*)") of a = 800000000000000000000000.

Answer
Do it as follows:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] testStrs = { "a = 800000000000000000000000", "a = ABC800000000000000000000000",
"a = 800000000000000000000000ABC", "a = 12.45", "a = 800000000000ABC000000000000", "a = ABC",
"a = 900000000000000000000000", "a = -800000000000000000000000", "a = -900000000000000000000000" };
for (String str : testStrs) {
System.out.println(
str + " -> " + (str.matches("[A-Za-z]\s+=\s+[-]?\d+") ? " matches." : " does not match."));
}
}
}
Output:
a = 800000000000000000000000 -> matches. a = ABC800000000000000000000000 -> does not match. a = 800000000000000000000000ABC -> does not match. a = 12.45 -> does not match. a = 800000000000ABC000000000000 -> does not match. a = ABC -> does not match. a = 900000000000000000000000 -> matches. a = -800000000000000000000000 -> matches. a = -900000000000000000000000 -> matches.
Explanation:
[A-Za-z]is for alphabets\s+is for space(s)[-]?is for optional-\d+is for digits
