Remove part of String following regex match in Java

Question

I want to remove a part of a string following what matches my regex.

I am trying to make a TV show organization program and I want to cut off anything in the name f

Answer 1

matches matches the entire string, try find()

You could capture the name as well:

String name = "a movie S01E02 with some stuff";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(.*[Ss]\\d\\d[Ee]\\d\\d)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(name);

if (m.find())
    System.out.println(m.group());
else
    System.out.println("No match");

Will capture and print:

a movie S01E02
