android - Java Regex Extract String between two Strings -

the problem

i have pattern "nom ? oscars" or "nom 2 golden globes. nom ? oscars. 30 wins 18 nominations" , want determine ? regex, amount of oscars.

what tried

it seems there

corresponding questions: extract string between 2 strings in java ,

how find value between 2 strings? tried pattern:

final pattern pattern = pattern.compile("for(.*?)oscar"); 

next tried following question: java - best way grab strings between 2 strings? (regex?)

  final pattern pattern = pattern.compile(pattern.quote("nom") +"(.*?)"+ pattern.quote("oscar")); 

the rest of code:

final matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("nom 3 oscar");     while(matcher.find()){      } log.d("test", matcher.group(1)); 

all of these pattern result in exception:

java.lang.illegalstateexception: no successful match far

i think oversee simple.

can guys me ?

edit

so problem call matcher.group(1) after loop. missunderstood working of find method. code working indeed, when call matcher.group(1) inside loop.

   final pattern pattern = pattern.compile("for(.*?)oscar");     final matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("nom 3 oscar");         while(matcher.find()){          log.d("test", matcher.group(1));         } 

i write test in extract string between 2 strings in java , working. think input string don't matches:

 @test         public void regex() {             string str = "nom 3 oscar, dom 234235 oscars";             pattern pattern = pattern.compile("for(.*?)oscar");             matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(str);             while (matcher.find()) {                 system.out.println(matcher.group(1));             }         } 

output:

    3   234235  

after answer edited question , see, in input string "oscar" starts lowecase "o", in pattern uppercase "o".
