title: Regex pattern for multi equal operation
body: <p>My goal is to compare one string with multiple other strings for equal operation using only regex in java 8.
  I used below syntax</p>
  <pre><code>&quot;^UK (Main Land)|German|Japan|Swiss|French|Italian$&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>But this syntax works good for German,Japan,Swiss,French  but validation fails for UK (Main Land) and Italian.</p>
  <p>What the change that I have to make it work?</p>
