Java达人来看一下，wildcard 搜索问题

在一行字“the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.”中间搜索 “the ???”, ?是通配符。
搜索的结果是:
Found 'the qui' at position 0
Found 'the laz' at position 32

不知道这一个method应该怎么写

haven\'t really tried it but I believe the general idea is as follows:

import java.util.regex.*;

Pattern p = Pattern.compile(\"the \\w{3}\");
Matcher m = p.matcher(“the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.”);
while (m.find())
{
        // print out m.start(); // this is the index
        // print out m.toString(); // this should be the matched string
}

it\'s a much efficient way; however, there is also a simpler way, which is to just use indexOf to continue finding \"the \", blab blab blab.

有不有效率低一点的。我们还在很起源的阶段，老师让我们用indexOf之类的的方法去写。
而且我们还没有学正则表达式……

pattern不只是一个，有很多个，比如
Examining line: \'the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.\' for pattern: \'the ???\'
Found \'the qui\' at position 0
Found \'the laz\' at position 32

Examining line: \'abba is a band not from norway at all\' for pattern: \'a??a\'
Found \'abba\' at position 0
Found \'a ba\' at position 8
Found \'ay a\' at position 28
Found \'at a\' at position 31

我现在写出了确定pattern的部分了
