  • If you will use a regular expression more than once in your program, be sure to compile the pattern using Pattern.compile() instead of the more direct Pattern.matches().
  • Also remember that you can re-use the Matcher object for different input strings by calling the method reset().

  • • If you don't really need to capture the text inside a
      group, always use non-capturing groups. For example, use "(?:X)" instead of "(X)".
