Hi,
I have text in a file that looks like this:
[
2
in stock]
What kind of regex could get the '2' ?
I tried this:
string regex = @"[\s]*(?'stock'.*?).*in\sstock]";
But it didn't work since [\s]* doesn't include tabs etc, and I am not
sure exactly what that whitespace is.....

Try @"(\d+)(?:\s+in stock)" or @"(\d+)(?:\s+in\s+stock)" !

\d+ is for digits, but that area might contain whitespace, tabs or
carriage returns also.

If it contains whitespace then what do you want returned ?

The integer value 2.
If it does not contain any digits but only whitespace at that
position you want it to return 2 ??

The text is like this:
[
2
in stock]
All that whitespace could be: 1) whitespace 2)carriage return 3) tabs
I want to extract the integer value (in the example I'm giving it is
2).

\s matches space, CR and TAB !
So I do still not understand the problem.
