1.  一般来说，正则表达式就是以某种方式来描述字符串。

  在其他语言中，\\表示“我想要在正则表达式中插入一个普通的（字面上的）反斜线，请不要给它任何特殊的意义。”而在Java中，\\的意思是“我要插入一个正则表达式的反斜线，所以其后的字符具有特殊的意义。”例如，如果你想表示一位数字，那么正则表达式应该是\\d。如果你想插入一个普通的反斜线，则应该这样\\\\。不过换行和制表符之类的东西只需使用单反斜线：\n\t。

  ？表示可能有某个字符。如-？表示可能有一个负号在前面。

  +表示一个或多个之前的表达式。

2.  String类自带正则表达式工具：

  1）matches , 检查string是否匹配正则表达式

"-1234".matches("-?\\d+"); //true

"you must do it".split("\\W+");//you, must, do, it

  3) replaceFirst ，replaceAll ， 替换

"you found it".replaceFirst("f\\w+","located"); //"you located it"
"you found it".replaceAll("f\\w+","located"); //"you located it"
