How to omit replacement in somepart of text using regular expression?

For ex:

If i want to replace mumbai with mumbai/aaa.com but if i have an anchor tag

How to solve this problem?

See the specs for the Replace . There are overloads that allow you to specify how many times the replacement can occur.

The code examples are there in the specs for that method. It's just a matter of picking the correct Replace method from the class which also accepts an integer specifying the number of replacements to do.

I followed Dan Cederholm's image replacement tutorial, to replace a header tag by a logo. The h1 is clickable if no CSS is applied but it I replace it by the logo, the area isn't clickable anymore when I pass the mouse over the logo. Is there a way to replace a link by an image that will still be clickable? Thanks, -- Kerberos.

I have an associative array of keys and values. I want to search a string for the existance of keys and replace them with the values in the array. The problem is that some of the keys resemble regular expressions but they are not so if I build the regular expression with a constructor it causes errors saying that the regular expression syntax is bad. I got around this problem by skipping the regular expression method and passing in the key...

Hi, before coming to .NET, I utilized regular expressions mostly in JScript / JavaScript and also in my favorite text editor: TextPad (www.textpad.com) I don't know about JScript/JavaScript, but in TextPad's implementation of Regular Expressions, you can do a replacement expression like this: \i For every single non-overlapping match, it places an incrementing number starting with zero. Thus, if you searched for ^ (beginning of line...

Overview: 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,...
