How to extract a substring using regex

Question

I have a string that has two single quotes in it, the \' character. In between the single quotes is the data I want.

How can I write a regex to extract

Answer 1

You don't need regex for this.

Add apache commons lang to your project (http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/), then use:

String dataYouWant = StringUtils.substringBetween(mydata, "'");
