Adding a literal to a regex match

Is there a way to add a literal character to a regex match? For example,
normally applying the regex ..$ to the string "123456" results in a match
"56". I want to be to add a literal character to the beginning of the
resultant match string. In other words, is there a regex that could be
applied to the string "123456" to a get a match string "056"?

Thanks.

Yes:
Match m = Regex.Match(... );
string x = "0" + m.ToString();

I guess you somehow wanted to state this 'inside' the regex search pattern.
As the name says it's a search pattern, so, no, you cannot do this.

Hi all, I'm having a problem with a reg ex. Essentiall, I'm trying to isolate variable declarations from old vbscript where there was no explicit declaration requirement. This should seem easy enough - just identify by the assignment statement; except for the fact that vb uses a single '=' token for comparison as well as assignment. Therefore, I need a regex that will match assignment statements while excluding if statements. I...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
