Matcher find(int) method in Java with Examples
The find(int start) method of Matcher Class attempts to find the next subsequence after the specified subsequence number, passed as parameter, of the input sequence that find the pattern. It returns a boolean value showing the same.
Syntax:
public boolean find(int start)
Parameters: This method takes a parameter start which is the subsequence number after which the next subsequence is to be found.
Return Value: This method returns a boolean value showing whether a subsequence of the input sequence find this matcher’s pattern
Exception: This method throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if start is less than zero or greater than the length of the input sequence.
Below examples illustrate the Matcher.find() method:
Example 1:
import java.util.regex.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String regex = "Geeks" ;
Pattern pattern
= Pattern.compile(regex);
String stringToBeMatched
= "GeeksForGeeks" ;
Matcher matcher
= pattern
.matcher(stringToBeMatched);
System.out.println(matcher.find( 1 ));
}
}

Example 2:
import java.util.regex.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String regex = "GFG" ;
Pattern pattern
= Pattern.compile(regex);
String stringToBeMatched
= "GFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFG" ;
Matcher matcher
= pattern
.matcher(stringToBeMatched);
System.out.println(matcher.find( 0 ));
}
}
