How do I check if a char is a vowel?

Question

This Java code is giving me trouble:

    String word = 
    int y = 3;
    char z;
    do {
        z = word.charAt(y);
         if (z!=

How about an approach using regular expressions? If you use the proper pattern you can get the results from the Matcher object using groups. In the code sample below the call to m.group(1) should return you the string you're looking for as long as there's a pattern match.

String wordT = null;
Pattern patternOne = Pattern.compile("^([\\w]{2}[AEIOUaeiou]*[^AEIOUaeiou]{1}).*");
Matcher m = patternOne.matcher("Jaemeas");
if (m.matches()) {
    wordT = m.group(1);
}

Just a little different approach that accomplishes the same goal.
