How to extract CSS color using regex?

I have a CSS style that I need to extract the color from using a Java regex.

eg

color:#000;

I nee开发者_JS百科d to extract the thing after : to ;. Can anyone give an example?

I'm not sure how to apply it to Java, but one regex to do this would be:

^color:\s*(#[0-9a-f]+);?$

To just extract from : up to ; do something like:

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("[^:]*:(.*);");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
    if (matcher.matches()) {
        String value = matcher.group(1);
        System.out.println("'" + value+ "'");  // do something with value
    }

• [^:]* - any number of chars that are not ':'
• : - one ':'
• (...) - a capturing group
  • .*- any number of any character
• ;- the terminating ';'

use color:(.*); for only accepting values for 'color'.

/(?<=:).+(?=;)/

That will do it for you

Not sure how you implement regex in Java though.

The expression

":(#.+);"

should do it
