Try out regular expressions

public class MainClass {

      System.exit(0);
    }
    System.out.println("Input: \"" + args[0] + "\"");
    for (int i = 1; i < args.length; i++) {
      System.out.println("Regular expression: \"" + args[i] + "\"");
      Pattern p = Pattern.rupile(args[i]);
      Matcher m = p.matcher(args[0]);
      while (m.find()) {
        System.out.println("Match \"" + m.group() + "\" at positions " + m.start() + "-"
            + (m.end() - 1));
      }
    }
  }
