Why does the syntax below output false? I know that the \\S is a none white space character, and that the \\w is a word character. Please feel free to tell me I'm wrong on that. Here is the code:

System.out.println("asdfghj".matches("\\S\\w"));

Thanks.

`"asdfghj".matches("\\S\\w.*")` as `matches` will return true if it matches full input – anubhava May 16 '16 at 21:50
`maches` checks if *entire* string can be matched by regex. – Pshemo May 16 '16 at 21:50
