Extracting strings from stream using Regex

hantie

Is it possible to do this extraction in Java from the InputStream?

<sql commands="select title from books" sql>
other patterns
....
....

The result will be just:
select title from books

that is extracting the fields ONLY between <sql ... sql> and between " "

Thank you for the response

There examples very similar to that at

Make sure you read the difference between matching and finding.
You want to find, then possibly later match to extract the essence.
