How to use a regular expression in Java to validate if 2 identical, consecutive numbers exist
Hello again - I need to do a password validation in Java checking whether or not a string has 2 consecutive, identical characters. I would like to use a regular expression do this. I have a working solution in Javascript, but haven't gotten it to work in Java yet. Here is my Javascript code:
var doesConsIdentCharExist = /(.)\1/.exec(password);
var doesConsIdentCharExist = /(.)\1/.exec(password);

That works great, thanks again
You're welcome!
Follow some simple rules when converting from a JavaScript RegEx to a Java one.
1. Escape all \ with \\
2. Start and end with .*
3. Use String#replaceAll() method to replace text.
Good Luck!
