java - select all text within ""(inclusive) after : but not including : -

aa: {         one: "hello",         two: "good",         three: "bye",         four: "tomorrow",      },     "bb": {         "1": "a quick fox",         "2": "a slow bird",         "3": "a smart dog",         "4": "a wilf flowert", 

my data above want select text within "" on right side of : , including "" marks

what is

: ("(.*?)") 

but select : isn't want.

if must use regular expression, can try matcher.group() method found here.

public class testclass {     public static void main(string[] args) {         string input = "aa: {\n" +                 "    one: \"hello\",\n" +                 "    two: \"good\",\n" +                 "    three: \"bye\",\n" +                 "    four: \"tomorrow\",\n" +                 "  },\n" +                 "  \"bb\": {\n" +                 "    \"1\": \"a quick fox\",\n" +                 "    \"2\": \"a slow bird\",\n" +                 "    \"3\": \"a smart dog\",\n" +                 "    \"4\": \"a wilf flowert\",\n";         // actual code need         pattern pattern = pattern.compile("(: )(\".+\")");         matcher match = pattern.matcher(input);         while (match.find()) {             // here go, value without :             string value = match.group(2);             system.out.println("found 1 = " + value);         }     } } 

this results in following me:

found 1 = "hello" found 1 = "good" found 1 = "bye" found 1 = "tomorrow" found 1 = "a quick fox" found 1 = "a slow bird" found 1 = "a smart dog" found 1 = "a wilf flowert"
