java - String matches() method not working properly -


so have method: 

   void verifysecretkey(string userenters, scanner input){      while(true) {         system.out.print("enter secret key:  ");         userenters = input.nextline();         system.out.println("\nverifying secret key...");          if (secretkey.matches(userenters)) {         system.out.println("secret key verified!");         break; }           else {         system.out.println("the secret key not follow proper format!"); }     } }

and reason, not working properly. string secretkey automatically generated user , must enter exact string verified. however, if correct string entered, still says it's incorrect.

enter image description here

sometimes works, , doesn't. wondering doing wrong here?

string#matches accepts string defining regular expression. if want check equality, use equals, not matches.

"oh-?bt-4#" contains ?, special character in regular expressions, not literal ?. string doesn't match regular expression.

is possible retrieve eta google's distancematrix api (or alternative api). fyi, eta different duration, when using public transport. following example clarify request. when leave on friday @ 8.15 i'll able catch train @ 8.30 , arrive @ 9.00 am. google says duration 30 minutes. however, when leave on saturday @ 8.15 i'll able catch first train @ 9.00 , arrive @ 9.30 am. google still says duration 30 minutes, means ignore delay. google map supports functionality there api around giving me eta instead of duration. can see, distance-matrix' response no good. clarifying question little. eta estimated time of arrival , it's clear user wants know entire duration of transport (including waiting time public transport).
