        String regex = "(Geeks)";
  
        // Create a pattern from regex
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
  
        // Get the String to be matched
        String stringToBeMatched
            = "GeeksForGeeks Geeks for For Geeks Geek";
  
        // Create a matcher for the input String
        Matcher matcher
            = pattern.matcher(stringToBeMatched);
  
        // Get previous endIndex of region
        // using regionEnd() method
        System.out.println("Before changing region, "
                           + " Region ends from: "
                           + matcher.regionEnd());
  
        // Restrict the region to 0, 10
        matcher = matcher.region(0, 10);
  
        // Get previous endIndex of region
        // using regionEnd() method
        System.out.println("After changing region, "
                           + " Region ends from: "
                           + matcher.regionEnd());
    }
