java - Get specific message on regex validation -

is possible specific message on regex validation?

for eg.

our regex '[0-9]{1,5}' , user enters '123456' message 'max characters exceeded' , if user enters 'abcd' message 'invalid characters' should displayed.

does have idea??

thanks in advance.

there no "automatic" solution. can hold several regular expressions , seek match input against these regexes holding error message per regex. example:

pattern correctinput = pattern.compile("\\d{1,5}"); pattern onlydigits = pattern.compile("^\\d*$"); if (!correctinput.matcher(input).find()) { homecoming onlydigits.matcher(input).find()) ? "wrong number of characters" : "invalid characters"; }
