Pattern.compile Help

How can I enter multiple names in a TextField using Pattern.compile.
I tried with

Code:

---


public static final Pattern PATTERN_NAME=Pattern.compile("[A-Z]('[A-Z])?([a-z])+");

and

public static final Pattern PATTERN_NAME=Pattern.compile("(\\b([A-Z])([a-z])+([ -])?)+");

---

The name that I want to enter is something like this:
John 'oryley george Lasló abu-MOHAMED

random charachers as you can see from the example

hi
you can read that

Pattern (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)


i hope benefit

GOOD LUCK

please help his

Im confused why you need to use pattern for this? Do you want to only allow certain characters to show up? Have the text field contain some initial value? Please let me know what you are trying to do.

Yes. Like * or $ etc. I'm trying to create a text field for name (name and surname, ititials etc. a name with many components as you can see from the example but containing name like O'neal etc)

I don't really understand what you want still. Did you read the link provided by leen?

You want to have the Text field contain a name when the GUI is created?

Do you want the user to type in a name? What do you want to happen as they type.

Yes! I want the user type names.

Ok, why do you need a pattern? Why can't they just type there name in?

Code:

package proiect_final;

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Constante {
   
    public static final Dimension DIMENSIUNE_ECRAN=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    public static final Dimension DIMENSIUNE_FEREASTRA=new Dimension(800,600);
    public static final String DIRECTOR_POZE="poze";
    public static final char[] COD_CORECT={'1','2','3'};
    public static final Pattern PATTERN_NUME=Pattern.compile("[A-Z]('[A-Z])?([a-z])+");
    public static final Pattern PATTERN_PRENUME=Pattern.compile("(\\b([A-Z])([a-z])+([ -])?)+");
    public static final Pattern PATTERN_CNP=Pattern.compile("[01]([0-9]){12}");
    public static final Pattern PATTERN_TELEFON_MOBIL=Pattern.compile("07([0-9]){8}");
    public static final Pattern PATTERN_TELEFON_FIX=Pattern.compile("0[2-3]([0-9]){8}");
}
