please tell me the regex.

What have you tried already? HAve you looked at any documentation for regex? Do you just want some hardworking person here to provide you the answer? Do they therefore get your paycheck for this piece of work? Many questions, not many answers.

ok.. your point is right.. i was expecting this kind of reply.. i have string String s = "this is Product : temp org is fine"; can you tell me how can can get "temp" only in my value group. here is what i tried Regex productRegex = new Regex(@"(Product) *(:b)*:(:b)*(?<value> .+) ");

Whats wrong with simply: Product : (?<value>[a-zA-Z]+) Assuming only alpha characters after the : that should work just fine

You don't need that question mark; I'd use Product\s*:\s*(\w+)

the ? was the start of a named group <value> - I just forgot to escape the angle brackets :rolleyes:

Ah, I use apostrophes for that instead: (?'value'\w+) At least it helps in these cases.

0. You probably want \w, not . 1) What is :b supposed to be? 2) Why are you putting the things you don't want in groups? 3) Product\s*:\s*(?'value'\w+) 4) Look into Expresso[^]
