Combine two regexes

Question

I have two regular expressions which are working perfectly fine when use independently.

First  : ^.+\\.((jpeg)|(gif)|(png))\\s*$ : search for .jpeg,gif or p         


        

Answer 1

You have extra spaces around the | operator:

Your original regex
^.+\.((jpeg)|(gif)|(png))\s*$ | ^.+(javax.faces.resource|rfRes).*
^.+\.((jpeg)|(gif)|(png))\s*$|^.+(javax.faces.resource|rfRes).*
Fixed regex                  ^
                             |

Your solution will try to match "the end of the string and then a space," or "a space and then the beginning of the string." Remember, whitespace is significant in regexes.
