Checking if String ends with something with Java (Regex)

I need to know whether check whether a String end with something like .xyz plus any characters after it.

Like this:

myString.endsWidth(".css*")

However this does not pass my if-statement. One concrete example is this kind of string: style.css?v=a1b23

Any ideas?

Complete example String:

http://xyz.com//static/css/style.css?v=e9b34

Try some regex:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile(".*\.css.*");
Matcher m = p.matcher("mystring"); 
if (m.matches()) {
    // do your stuff
}

Use ".*\.css.+" as your regular expression.

use \.(.{3})(.*) then the first group ($1) contains the three characters after . and the second group $2 contains the rest of the string after those three characters. Add a $ sign at the end of the expression to make it only look for strings ending with that combination

endsWith takes a string as parameter

matches takes a regular expression

hum, I am guessing something like this is even better:

return myString.indexOf(".css")>-1;

If you really want to go with regexp, you could use this

return myString.matches(".*?\\.css.*");
