In this post, we will see about regex to find currency symbols in a text.
You can use below regex to find currency symbols in any text.
\\p{Sc}
Each unicharacter belongs to certain category and you can search for it using /p. Sc is short code for current symbol, so using \p{Sc}, we are trying to find currency symbol in a text.

package org.arpit.java2blog; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern; public class RegexCurrencySymbol { public static void main(String args[]) { String text = "Currency symobols are : $ Dollar, ₹ Rupees "; String regex = "\\p{Sc}"; Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex); Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text); while (matcher.find()) { System.out.print("Start index: " + matcher.start()); System.out.print(" End index: " + matcher.end() + " "); System.out.println(" : " + matcher.group()); } } } |
Output:
Start index: 24 End index: 25 : $
Start index: 34 End index: 35 : ₹
Start index: 34 End index: 35 : ₹
That’s all about regex for currency symbols in java.
