Java Regex captures Group but does not matches()

I am trying to match 'MyGroup' from the following string:

CN=MyGroup,OU=SomeOU,OU=AnotherOu,DC=SomeDC,DC=AnotherDC,DC=GB

Using the following Regex:

(?<=CN=).*?(?=,OU=)

This captures "MyGroup" however using an online regex tester I get matches() false. I need to get matches() true for this. I don't have access to the java code, just that it's validating against matches() true.

You can use

CN=([^,]+),OU=.*

See the regex demo.

Details

  • CN= - CN= string
  • ([^,]+) - Capturing group 1: one or more non-commas
  • ,OU= - a ,OU= string
  • .* - any zero or more chars other than line break chars as many as possible.
