Java写爬虫的时候，matcher.groupCount()返回为1，但是matcher

Question

Answer 1

我模仿了题意，写了测试代码，结果如下String html = "<p><span>mytextvalue<br>";Matcher m = Pattern.compile("<p><span>(.*?)<br>").matcher(html);System.out.println(m.find()); //trueSystem.out.println(m.groupCount()); //1System.out.println(m.group(0)); //<p><span>mytextvalue<br>System.out.println(m.group(1)); //mytextvalue另外// where does m.groupCount come fromm = Pattern.compile("(group1)(group2)(group3)").matcher(html);System.out.println(m.groupCount()); //3增加解释说明，看源码的注释&nbsp; &nbsp; /**&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* Returns the number of capturing groups in this matcher's pattern.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* <p> Group zero denotes the entire pattern by convention. It is not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* included in this count.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* <p> Any non-negative integer smaller than or equal to the value&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* returned by this method is guaranteed to be a valid group index for&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* this matcher.&nbsp; </p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;* @return The number of capturing groups in this matcher's pattern&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;*/&nbsp; &nbsp; public int groupCount() {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return parentPattern.capturingGroupCount - 1;&nbsp; &nbsp; }这里说得清楚，groupCount返回的是正则表达式的捕获分组的数量（捕获分组和非捕获分组是另外的知识点），groupCount的结果并不能说明匹配的结果。要执行正则表达式匹配，需要执行find动作，看源码&nbsp; &nbsp; public boolean find() {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; int nextSearchIndex = last;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (nextSearchIndex == first)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; nextSearchIndex++;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; // If next search starts before region, start it at region&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (nextSearchIndex < from)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; nextSearchIndex = from;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; // If next search starts beyond region then it fails&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (nextSearchIndex > to) {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; for (int i = 0; i < groups.length; i++)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; groups[i] = -1;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return false;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return search(nextSearchIndex);&nbsp; &nbsp; }这样的才会给Matcher内部的成员变量groups赋值，groups[i] = -1;这样的之后在我们执行m.group(1)的时候我们才能获得捕获分组匹配到的内容。
