Find all the patterns of “1(0+)1” in a given string | SET 2(Regular Expression Approach)

In Set 1, we have discussed general approach for counting the patterns of the form 1(0+)1 where (0+) represents any non-empty consecutive sequence of 0’s.In this post, we will discuss regular expression approach to count the same.

Examples:

Input : 1101001
Output : 2

Input : 100001abc101
Output : 2

Below is one of the regular expression for above pattern 

10+1

Hence, whenever we found a match, we increase counter for counting the pattern.As last character of a match will always ‘1’, we have to again start searching from that index.

//Java program to count the patterns

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
  
class GFG 
{
    static int patternCount(String str) 
    {
        // regular expression for the pattern
        String regex = "10+1";
          
        // compiling regex
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regex);
                  
        // Matcher object
        Matcher m = p.matcher(str);
          
        // counter
        int counter = 0;
                  
        // whenever match found
        // increment counter
        while(m.find())
        {
            // As last character of current match
            // is always one, starting match from that index
            m.region(m.end()-1, str.length());
              
            counter++;
        }
                  
        return counter;
    }
      
    // Driver Method

    {
        String str = "1001ab010abc01001";
        System.out.println(patternCount(str));
