Convert regex into java regex

Question

string should not be longer than 26 alphanumeric characters string should not begin with www OR api OR admin string may contain hyphens

I have this regular expression that works:

^(?!www)(?!admin)(?!api)[a-zA-Z0-9.]{1,26}

Can you help me convert that regex into a java style string regex?

First, not every regex works with java, but anyway the easiest way is to use online tool for that like [advanced java](http://www.regexplanet.com/advanced/java/index.html) — Fady Saad, Jul 21 '17 at 02:35

I found the answer by changing my regex to the following:

^(www|api|admin)\w{1,26}$

It does not even give the same result as the one you originally posted. – Adrian Shum Jul 24 '17 at 02:54
