The following cods prints false for the supplied XML string

System.err.println(txt.matches("(.*)123456789(.*)"));
System.err.println(txt.matches(".*" ));

XML String ::

'<?xml version="1.0"?> <SearchClaimsRequest xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://services.asurion.com/schemas/SearchClaimsRequest/2.0.0">   <request>     <SearchClaimsByEnrollmentId>       <EnrollmentId>123456789</EnrollmentId>     </SearchClaimsByEnrollmentId>   </request> &lf;</SearchClaimsRequest>'


Cause:

It is caused by the newline feed character “&lf”.


Resolution:

Remove the line feed character before applying the regex.

String out_var_1=in_var_1.replace("\r","").replace("\n","");
