Java regex content between single quotes

Question

I am trying to write a regex in Java to find the content between single quotes. Can one please help me with this? I tried the following but it doesn\'t work in some cases:

Answer 1

Try this simple regex pattern:

'([^\s']+)'

and a test code:

try {
    Pattern regex = Pattern.compile("'([^\\s']+)'");
    Matcher regexMatcher = regex.matcher(subjectString);
    while (regexMatcher.find()) {
        for (int i = 1; i <= regexMatcher.groupCount(); i++) {
            // matched text: regexMatcher.group(i)
            // match start: regexMatcher.start(i)
            // match end: regexMatcher.end(i)
        }
    } 
} catch (PatternSyntaxException ex) {
    // Syntax error in the regular expression
}
