avoid code duplication

Question

consider the following code:

if (matcher1.find()) {
   String str = line.substring(matcher1.start()+7,matcher1.end()-1);
   /*+7 and -1 indicate the prefix and suffix of the matcher... */    
   method1(str);
}
if (matcher2.find()) {
   String str = line.substring(matcher2.start()+8,matcher2.end()-1);
   method2(str);
}
...

I have n matchers, all matchers are independent (if one is true, it says nothing about the others...), for each matcher which is true - I am invoking a different method on the content it matched.
question: I do not like the code duplication nor the "magic numbers" in here, but I'm wondering if there is better way to do it...? (maybe Visitor Pattern?) any suggestions?

Answer 1

Create an abstract class, and add offset in subclass (with string processing too... depending of your requirement).

Then populate them in a list and process the list.

Here is a sample absract processor:

public abstract class AbsractProcessor {

    public void find(Pattern pattern, String line) {
        Matcher matcher = p.matcher(line);
        if (matcher.find()) {
            process(line.substring(matcher.start() + getStartOffset(), matcher.end() - getEndOffset()));
        }
    }

    protected abstract int getStartOffset();

    protected abstract int getEndOffset();

    protected abstract void process(String str);

}
