How do I get an entire line, like using grep?

[Nobody/Anonymous]

I have a log file and I would like to use a regular expression to retrieve all lines where a pattern exists.  On Unix, if I "grep" on a file for a pattern, it returns all of the lines where that pattern exists.  How can I use jregex to get an entire line, without actually comparing against every line in the file?

You can just iterate the individual lines and do an:

private String match(String line, Pattern pattern) {
  Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(line);
  if (matcher.find()) {
    return line;
  }
}

You might try a pattern like:

^.*?(?:regex).*?$

Compiled with Pattern.MULTILINE (but NOT Pattern.DOTALL).
