Get the first letter of each word in a string using regex

Question

I\'m trying to get the first letter of each word in a string using regex, here is what I have tried:

public class Test
{
    public static void main(String[]         


        

Answer 1

(Disclaimer: I have no experience with Java, so if it handles regexes in ways that render this unhelpful, I apologize.)

If you mean getting rid of the spaces preceding the M and L, try adding optional whitespace at the end

(?<=[\\S])[\\S]+\\s*

However, this may add an extra space in the case of single-letter words. This may fix that:

(?<=[\\S])[\\S]*\\s*
