System.OutOfMemory Exception

[Tobias Matzat]

Hello!

I'm writing an application that immitates ie behavior to save
html-pages. Well fecht the files in the webpage and change the paths in
the href/src attributes. Well, I#m doing this with the help of the RegEx
class. If the page contains a lot of files to fetch, I'm getting an
System.OutOfMemory Exception when changing something with the
RegEx.Replace(...). Taking a look in my taskmanager shows me that all
off my system memory is full. Oh oh. But why - consumes the
RegEx.Replace() so much memory? Is there a way to 'controll' it??

THX!

It is quite possible to write a Regular Expression that finds an infinite
number of matches. I would suggest taking a good look at your Regular
Expression first.
