I'm trying to find the right RegEx to capture some (potentially) repeating data. I don't know how many times it will repeat. If I give an exanple of the data and what I want to capture can anyone point me in the right direction? It's the .Net regex engine (Visual Basic)

I have written code to pull some data into a data table and do some data re-formatting. I need some help splitting some text into appropriate columns.
CASE 1
I have data formated like this that I need to split into 2 columns.

column is the first 11 characters That is easy.column 2 should contain all the text after the first 11 characters up to but not including the first number.The last column is all the text after column 2
My coworker needs me to write him a regular expression for his vb.net app.I do not know vb and he does not know regex.The regex he needs is:/.*web id: ?(d+).*/iBasically he needs to search a string for something like "web id: 345" or "web id:2534" and retrieve the ID.He took what I gave him above and was able to put this together:
Dim strPattern As String = ".*web id: ?(d+).*"
Dim strReplacement$ = "$1"
GetWebId$ = Regex.Replace(LCase$(strNote$), strPattern$, strReplacement$)

Have a sentence:
I have a test.
Now, I want to know how many 2-word group in this sentence. I can do this using: New Regex("([a-zA-Z]+s+(?=[a-zA-Z]+))") to get this #.
Is there a way to capture these 2-word groups?
in this example it should be:
I have
have a
a test
can we do this in regular expression directly?

I'm sure it can be done easily with a regular expression, but I just can't get the hang of it.
I need a regular expression that requires at least ONE digits and SIX maximum. I've worked out this, but neither of them seems to work. ^[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]?$ ^[0-999999]$
View 4 RepliesIt seems up until now I've never used Regex, nor even heard of it. But once I did I realized how extremely useful this is. Having said, it's been 2 days since I've began looking into constructing my own patterns. My most recent being for decimals. Is the pattern I provided below "proper"? and are there also any improvements I could be making for a more efficient patter, which would minimize any possibility of a loophole? [code] So for my use, this is doing what it's supposed to being doing under every test I can through at it. But do mind the 0. and .0, I have a function to normalize these as they are proper, I just pad the left and right accordingly. I found most regex questions asked here..and yes I am doing this in vb.net so it fits. If not, then feel free to move this post somewhere else better suited for the topic of discussion.

View 5 RepliesThis is a related to a previous question I have asked here, see the link below for a brief description as to why I am trying to do this.Regular expression from font to span (size and colour) and back (VB.NET).Basically I need a regex replace function (or if this can be done in pure VB then that's fine) to convert all ul tags in a string to textindent tags, with a different attribute value for the first textindent tag.For example:
<ul>
<li>This is some text</li>
<li>This is some more text</li>[code].....
Basically I want the first ul tag to have no indenting, but all nested ul tags to have an indent of 20.
I know it may be quite easily for you. i have a text which contains 40 lines, I want to remove lines which starts with a constant text. check below data.

View 4 RepliesI 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 & "#"

I'm having trouble trying to find the best method to do what I'm needing.
I'm thinking of using a regular expression to read a .txt file and parse out the MAC id information that will be in the text file. I was wondering if there was an easier way to do it or what the best way to do this is.
readall(textfile)
macID = d{1, 4}.d{1, 4}.d{1, 4}
totalMacInfo = all the macs in the text file?
If you guys have an alternative solution or a good way to write out the code I am open to suggestions. Not exactly sure how best to mix the expression into reading a txt file to get the data i need.
I have a regular expression that I use to grab data between two sets of id's for example:
<CLASSCOD>70</CLASSCOD>
The regular expression I use is:
(?<=<CLASSCOD>)(?:[^<]|<(?!/CLASSCOD))*
Which works in most case but when I have a single value like this
<CLASSCOD>N</CLASSCOD>
It says there are no matches.
The whole data string looks like this :
<STATUS>PRESOL</STATUS>
<DATE>0601</DATE>
<YEAR>11</YEAR>
<AGENCY>Department of the Interior</AGENCY>
<OFFICE>Bureau of Indian Affairs</OFFICE>
