    Hi all, I am using C#.Net 2008. I am using following code to varify proper format (udp ip:port i.e "225.1.1.1:3000") of input string. But it is not working properly. System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex regStr = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}.\d{1,3}:\d{1,5}"); bool b; b = regStr.IsMatch("225.1.1.1:3000"); //return true b = regStr.IsMatch("2225.1.1.1:3000"); //return true. should return false Anybody knows proper regular expression for ip:port format? Can anyone give me good links for using Regex , regular expression in C#. Thanks in advance. Regards, Aniket A. Salunkhe

    Try This : System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex regStr = new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"^[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}:[0-9]{1,5}$"); Thanks!

      It wasn't that wrong. I have to be honest I missed the unescaped . and thought of the other half of the problem (^,$ to match beginning and end)

        Wrong! Same mistake as Mirko1980. Try 123a123a123a123, your regex will match that too!

          Yes, it was. Input 123a123b123c123, then it is completely wrong ;P

            But this work's fine. MessageBox.Show(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.IsMatch("123a123a123a123", @"^[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}:[0-9]{1,5}$", System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture).ToString()); Thanks!

                    You need to escape the '.' else it will match anything.

                    That is true, too. You must also replace all the . with \. So, the regex is "^\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}:\d{1,5}$" Take in mind that also the above regex is not absolutely correct. For example, it matches also 999.999.999.999:3000.

                      This should work @"^[0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}[:][0-9]{1,5}$" Thanks!

                            I'd just try to open the port and let the framework figure it out.

                                Another thread came up with: @"^[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}[:][0-9]{1,5}$" But what if you want to constrain the octets to ONLY values from 0 to 255? And what if you really wanna go whole hog and constrain the port to 0 to 65535? I don't know regular expressions that well, so I am curious. Roink

                                  I'm more concerned about, "that which will come after IPv6". Let Microsoft do all the work, that's why I pay them. :-D
