// Java code to illustrate toMatchResult() method

import java.util.regex.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the regex to be checked
        String regex = "Geeks";

        // Create a pattern from regex
        Pattern pattern
            = Pattern.compile(regex);

        // Get the String to be matched
        String stringToBeMatched
            = "GeeksForGeeks";

        // Create a matcher for the input String
        Matcher matcher
            = pattern
                  .matcher(stringToBeMatched);

        // Get the result state
        // using toMatchResult() method
        System.out.println("Result: "
                           + matcher.toMatchResult());
    }
}
Output:
Result: java.util.regex.Matcher[pattern=Geeks region=0, 13 lastmatch=]
Example 2: Java
// Java code to illustrate toMatchResult() method

import java.util.regex.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the regex to be checked
        String regex = "GFG";

        String stringToBeMatched
            = "GFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFGFG";

        // Create a matcher for the input String
        Matcher matcher
            = pattern
                  .matcher(stringToBeMatched);

        // Get the result state
        // using toMatchResult() method
        System.out.println("Result: "
                           + matcher.toMatchResult());
    }
}
Output:
Result: java.util.regex.Matcher[pattern=GFG region=0, 19 lastmatch=]
