regular expression problem
-
Hi The pattern is sth like this:
^-?((?<X>[0-9]{0,8})/(?<Y>[0-9]{0,15})|(?<X>[0-9]{0,8}))\*?$and I want to have the variables in their named groups as following X=... Y=... I don't know how to use MatchCollection, CaptureCollection ,etc. Can anyone help me? :confused: -

Let's start with a simpler pattern. Once you get it working you can make it more complex. Suppose your pattern is smth like the following:
(?<var1>\w+)"var1" is the name of your captureRegex r = new Regex(patter<, RegexOptions> );
MatchCollection mc = r.Matches(your_text_to_match);
if (mc.Count > 0)
{
// iterate though the collection
// get the value with: mc[i].Groups["var1"].Value;
}Well, something along these lines anyway, I'm typing it from the memory, can't check the syntax on the home pc.
