OK, so I am was never so good on NFAs and DFAs, but I am just trying
to get one of the Microsoft-supplied RegEx samples to work. It is the
last example (describing the Capture class) from this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ionclasses.asp
Basically, it returns no Groups as coded. If I change the RegEx to
"(abc)+", it works like I would expect (since this says one or more
groups rather than zero or more groups).
I would think that "zero or more" of this construct would also work.
I got my (real oproject) code to work, but I am probably going to run
into some problem in the future, that will have the same answer as
this weird case, so..
Thanks in advance.

Did I get you right? You want to match something like "(abc)*"?
This should match just about anything, as any character location can be read
as "0 repetitions of (abc)"
You should have some must-be-there-string in front of or after a 0-or-more
expression, like "(abc)*def"
There's an excellent book on the topic "Mastering regular expressions".
Really worth the price!

First, if MSFT is listening I'll say IMO the MSDN material is sorely lacking
in this area... it's just a whole bunch of information thrown at you and
you're left to yourself as to organizing it in your head. Typical learning
starts with basics and progresses through increasingly complex information -
I think given the inherent confusion-inducing ability of regex that kind of
documentation would be very valuable.
But anyway, I'm trying...

Anyone know of a fix (ideally) or an easy workaround to the problem of escape characters not working in regex replacement text? They just come out as literal text
For example, you'd think that thi

would give yo

hi all,
take the following 2 c# lines:
1) str = Regex.Replace(str, ".*AAA", "");
2) str = Regex.Replace(str, "^.*AAA", "");
notice that the only difference is that the pattern in line 2 has a
starter
marker (^). if str is large and does not contain the pattern, line 1
takes much much longer to complete than line 2 and cpu goes nearly
full throttle.

Hello!
In my application I have a need for using a regular expression now and then.
Often the same regular expression must be used multiple times. For
performance reasons I use the RegexOptions.Compiled when I instantiate it.
It must be obvious that it takes some time to instantiate such an object.
My question is, does the Regex instantiation somehow deal with some caching
internally so instantiating a Regex object multiple times...

Hi,
I've written a small VB application that parses an HTML document and
removes code I don't need and re-writes the file. I'm looking for the
regex pattern that will remove the following code:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
