I need to split a string based on a character, such as a space (0x20). The caveat is that I need to ignore the character if it is found between a pair of some other characters, such as single-quotes. For example (where _ denotes a space character): ab_cd_'ef'_'g_h'_i_'j_k_l' I should get back ab cd ef g_h

I would like to get some help on regular expression to validate decimal numbers. It should also match negative value, empty value. The expression: ^(\-){0,1}({1}{0,8}(\,{3})*(\.{0,8})?|{1}{0,}(\.{0,8})?|0(\.{0,8})?|(\.{1,8})?)$ is doing this job, but matches a single hyphen "-" also. For example: matches -12.34 but also matches - I need help to have this expression modified to unmatch single hyphen

I am using the Regular Expression Validator control to validate a correct email address. But, at the same time I would like to make it a required field. I tested by using just the regular expression validator expecting a message to be displayed but it let me submit the form. Do I have to use both?

I'm experimenting with Regular Expressions and Windows Forms. Frequently I want a value to be either a valid pattern or empty. For example a Zip code must be 5 digits or may be empty. I know that I can use the Regular Expression "\d{5}" to test for exactly 5 digits. How can I add the option for the string to be empty or must I always test the value before calling the Regular Expression? Thanks

Is it possible for a regular expression to macth only an empty string? What I want is exactly {0}, but that causes the parser to throw an exception - parsing "{0}" - Quantifier {x,y} following nothing. Duh, I want nothing. Maybe I need an expression that evaluates to "not anything?" I can't find that either. Paul
