count files with regex in java
I want to count files using regex to match filenames.But My regex didn't match. My "F:" has two files named "a(1).txt"&"a(1)(1).txt" .But regex only can match one of them,the count is 1. But when I change "()" to "-" in my regex and files' names.It can match all of them.I think the problem is in my regex.But I don't know why?
here is my code:
public static void main(String args) {
File dest = new File("F:\");
File file = new File("E:\a(1).txt");
move(file, dest);
}
public static void move(File file, File dest) {
//get file name
String name = file.getName();
int index = name.lastIndexOf(".");
String realname = name.substring(0, index);
String suffix = name.substring(index + 1, name.length());
//get files in F:
File fs = dest.listFiles(new FileFilter() {
@Override
public boolean accept(File pathname) {
//get File name
String fname = pathname.getName();
return fname.equals(name) || fname.matches(realname + "\(\d+\)." + suffix);
}
});
int count = fs.length;
System.out.println(count);
file.renameTo(new File(dest + realname + (count == 0 ? "." : "(" + count + ").") + suffix);
}

You should learn debugging with IDE or at least printing values at sum checkpoint to narrow the source of issue.
Your pattern for fname.matches() is a(1)(d+).txt. Round brackets are special symbols in regex to escape them you could use java.util.regex.Pattern.quote(realname). It will change the pattern to a(1)(d+).txt.
Thoughts:
input file = a(2).txt to match a(2).txt and a(2)(1).txt you could remove fname.equals(name) and modify regex to fname.matches(Pattern.quote(realname) + "(\(\d+\))*\." + suffix). * means zero or more times inside round brackets; "." - dot is a special symbol and should be escaped.

I think your regex should be
((d+))+.
You also need to escape special character to use this regex in Java code as followed:
(\(\d+\))+\.
