anyOf is not matched requirements about javaverbalexpressions HOT 8 OPEN

It's some late, but I think with an indentation it can be better:

.add("[")
.wordChar().space().digit()
.add("]")
.oneOrMore()

You are right, sometimes regex is better than ve, principally for those who know regex enough. But we have a lot of thing to improve our code, whatever we use.

Can't see why your variant better than original

@lanwen It 's ridiculous to list all the Word char and all digit char in the sring parameter in the anyOf method.

from javaverbalexpressions.

lib already has .wordChar().nonWordChar().space().nonSpace().digit().nonDigit()

use with .capture().endCapture() - is it solve your case?

from javaverbalexpressions.

No. Please tell me how to use verbalExpressions to represent this regex: [a-k\s\d,]+

from javaverbalexpressions.

regex().add("[").wordChar().space().digit().add("]").oneOrMore()

regex().anyOf("\\w\\s\\d")

regex().capture().digit().or("\\w").or("\\s").endCapture().oneOrMore()

regex().add("[a-k\s\d,]+")

You can use raw regex if it looks more compact

from javaverbalexpressions.

I think java regex is more readable than verbal expressions. VE is too awkward to use it.

from javaverbalexpressions.

In some cases it's true! VE is mostly for those who don't know how to type simple regex. Or where you should write something that should be human-readable (for example in tests).
