How to match a set of characters (letter + any single character from set + letter) using RegEx in Scala

1 Answer

0 votes
// b[aeou]y: This pattern looks for strings that match the following:
// b: The letter "b".
// [aeou]: Any single character that is either "a", "e", "o", or "u".
// y: The letter "y".

object Program {
  def checkPattern(pattern: String, text: String): Boolean = {
    val re = pattern.r
    
    re.findFirstIn(text.toLowerCase).isDefined
  }

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val pattern = "b[aeou]y"

    println(checkPattern(pattern, "A smart Boy")) // B/b o y
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "I want to buy this laptop")) // b u y
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "baay"))
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "baeouy"))
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "baey"))
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "This is beauty"))
    println(checkPattern(pattern, "A programming book"))
  }
}
