I never used regex before. I was abel to see similar questions in forum but not exactly what im looking for
I have a string like following. need to get the values between curly braces
Ex: "{name}{name@gmail.com}"
And i Need to get the following splitted strings.
name and name@gmail.com
I tried the following and it gives me back the same string.
string s = "{name}{name@gmail.com}";
string pattern = "({})";
string[] result = Regex.Split(s, pattern);
Is using regex a must? In this particular example I would write:
s.Split(new char[] { '{', '}' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
Use Matches
of Regex
rather than Split
to accomplish this easily:
string input = "{name}{name@gmail.com}";
var regex = new Regex("{(.*?)}");
var matches = regex.Matches(input);
foreach (Match match in matches) //you can loop through your matches like this
{
var valueWithoutBrackets = match.Groups[1].Value; // name, name@gmail.com
var valueWithBrackets = match.Value; // {name}, {name@gmail.com}
}
here you go
string s = "{name}{name@gmail.com}";
s = s.Substring(1, s.Length - 2);// remove first and last characters
string pattern = "}{";// split pattern "}{"
string[] result = Regex.Split(s, pattern);
or
string s = "{name}{name@gmail.com}";
s = s.TrimStart('{');
s = s.TrimEnd('}');
string pattern = "}{";
string[] result = Regex.Split(s, pattern);
