[Solved] Java regex: Multiple delimiters preceded by “-“

by


You can do this with a String#replaceAll method:

str = str.replaceAll("-(nic|a)\\b", "");

Regex -(nic|adm) matches a hyphen followed by nic or adm.

\\b is for word boundary to make sure we don’t match unwanted text like abc.

You can add more suffixes in this group that you want to be removed.
