Java regex match across words having apostrophe
<p>I have a sentence "no it's all right lag" where I am trying to detected a pattern "no lag". My regex is <code>no + (\\s\\w*?\\s?){1,3} + lag</code>. This fails. However if my sentence is "no its all right lag" (note that the word its is not having the apostrophe), then the match succeeds. Can anyone suggest how can i ignore the apostrophe in the window. 
I am using java pattern <code>matcher</code>. </p>
