Groovy syntax for regular expression matching

Question

What is the Groovy equivalent of the following Perl code?

my $txt = \"abc : groovy : def\";
if ($txt =~ / : (.+?) : /) {
  my $match = $1;
  print \"MATCH=$m         


        

Answer 1

This was the closest match to the Perl code that I could achieve:

def txt = "abc : groovy : def"
if ((m = txt =~ / : (.+?) : /)) {
  def match = m.group(1)
  println "MATCH=$match"
}
