• first name,middle name,last name,program,rank,grade,email,student ID,home phone,work phone

Example substitution string for the first student

• Jane,V,Quinn,S4040,SO,B,[email protected],Q43-15-5883,318-377-4560,318-245-1144,Y

Answer 1

import java.util.regex.*;
public class Main
{
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                String input = "Jane,V,Quinn,S4040,SO,B,[email protected],Q43-15-5883,318-377-4560,318-245-1144,Y";
        String regexp = "([A-Za-z]+),+([A-Za-z]+),+([A-Za-z]+),+([0-9A-Za-z]+),+([A-Za-z]+),+([A-Z]),+([0-9A-Za-z@.]+),+([0-9A-Za-z-]+),+([0-9-]+),+([0-9-]+)";
        
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regexp);
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(input);
        matcher.find();
        System.out.println("Firstname  : " + matcher.group(1));
        System.out.println("Middlename : " + matcher.group(2));
        System.out.println("Lastname: " + matcher.group(3));
        System.out.println("Program: " + matcher.group(4));
        System.out.println("Rank: " + matcher.group(5));
        System.out.println("Grade: " + matcher.group(6));
        System.out.println("Email: " + matcher.group(7));
        System.out.println("Student ID: " + matcher.group(8));
        System.out.println("Home phone: " + matcher.group(9));
        System.out.println("Work Phone: " + matcher.group(10));
        }
}

Output:

Firstname : Jane
Middlename : V
Lastname: Quinn
Program: S4040
Rank: SO
Grade: B
Email: [email protected]
Student ID: Q43-15-5883
Home phone: 318-377-4560
Work Phone: 318-245-1144

I have done the program in Java.
