I am pretty good with perl regular expressions but evidently I am at a loss on why this doesn't work.The code below stores "Person Test" in output variable.
im output As String
Dim userName As String = "Test, Person"
Dim re As New Regex("(w+),s(w+)", RegexOptions.Singleline)
output = re.Replace(userName, "$2 $1")
So why doesn't the following code store "#Test##Person#" in output variable.
Dim output As String
Dim userName As String = "Test, Person"
Dim re As New Regex("(w+),s(w+)")
For Each Match As Match In re.Matches(userName)
output &= "#" & Match.ToString & "#"

View 3 RepliesI am trying to write a regular expression string match in vb.net. The condition that I am trying to implement is that the string should contain only alphabets and must contain atleast one letter of both lower and upper case. i.e AAA-fail, aaa-fail, aAaA-pass.
The regular expression that I have come up with is ^(([a-z]+[A-Z]+)+|([A-Z]+[a-z]+)+)$
How can I match the domain part only of a URI with regular expressions? I see lots of examples but the mutch the subdomain too. What I am looking to do is to capture only the domain. So, for example [URL] should match only google. As a secondary question, I am looking to implement this on a VB.NET program. Would there be some other way to do it without regular expressions?

I'm using the code below to take a string and split it up into an array. It will take: Disney Land and make it two separate elements. If the string contains "Disney Land" then it is one element in the array. Works great, however it adds some empty elements to the array each time. So I just iterate over the elements and remove them if they are empty. Is there a tweak to the code below that will prevent those empty elements from occurring?

I am wanting to take a string of say the following:

So that in C# or VB get a match set of:

Essentially it splits on the spaces unless there are quotes around the spaces, then those words between quotes are considered a single phrase.

I need a regular expression that can validate that a string is an alphanumeric comma delimited string.
Examples:
123, 4A67, GGG, 767 would be valid.
12333, 78787&*, GH778 would be invalid
fghkjhfdg8797< would be invalid
This is what I have so far, but isn't quite right: ^(?=.*[a-zA-Z0-9][,]).*$

I'm trying to use regular expressions to find a matching model within the game. This part works perfectly! The only problem is that if it finds more than one match it'll try to place all matches it finds which I don't want it to do. Anyone more advanced in Regex can they tell me how to use regular expressions to only show one match or the first match it finds?
If Messege.ToLower.StartsWith("^place model") Then
Dim Regex As String = Messege.Remove(0, 13)

It has been a while since I have used regular expressions and I'm hoping what I'm trying to do is possible. I have a program that sends automated response regarding a particular file and I'd like to grab the text between two words I know will never change. In this example those words are "regarding" and "sent"
Dim subject As String = "Information regarding John Doe sent."
Dim name As String = Regex.IsMatch(subject, "")
So in this case I'd like to be able to get just "John Doe". Every regexp I'm coming up with includes the words "regarding" and "sent". How can I use those words as the boundaries but not include them in the match?
Is it possible to write an SQL statement for MySQL which finds all rows which match a specific arrangement of letters/numbers without using REGEXP? i.e. SELECT myCol FROM myTable WHERE myCol='{number}{number}{letter}'Should return 12X and 34Y but not 123X or 34YY..SQL match on letter and number arrangement). The difference is that I have discovered that I cannot use regular expressions with the ADO.Net driver I am using. Whatsmore, I cannot update it since I am using Visual Studio 2003 which is not compatible with later versions.]
