Hi all. I want to know What the meaning of @ character is in Regular expression pattern? :doh: Like this :

Regex.Replace(str , @"pattern", "");

Thanks in advanced .

Hi, The @ symbol is 'nothing' to do with the actual pattern... it is placed in front of a string to tell the compiler to ignore all escape characters (backslashes: \) contained within the string. "\n" <- newline character @"\n" <- \n
