To develop a Java Code Parser, I want to extract method contents of a java source file as strings. But the problem is I can't match the content from Regex by getting value between { and } because some methods has { and } inside the method. Like this,
public String[] getArgs() {
try{
//something
}
catch(Exception e){
}
return args;
}
If I use regex like
Regex regex = new Regex("(?<={).*?(?=})");
It only captures try{ //something
How can i ignore occurences of { and } inside method and get value inside method like
try{
//something
}
catch(Exception e){
}
return args;

Try the following regex on C#-like text. It will capture every method body, taking nested {} into account. For explanations : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/Nested_RegEx_explained.aspx
var reg = @"
(?<body>
\{(?<DEPTH>)
(?>
(?<DEPTH>)\{
|
\}(?<-DEPTH>)
|
(?(DEPTH)[^\{\}]* | )
)*
\}(?<-DEPTH>)
(?(DEPTH)(?!))
)";
var input = "abc{d{e}f}gh{i}";
foreach (Match m in Regex.Matches(input,reg, RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace)) Console.WriteLine(m.Groups["body"].Value);
[edit] Sorry, I forgot the "RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace"
This sample is writing to console :
{d{e}f}
{i}
