C# and Regular expressions

[hini]

Hi all,

I have a problem with matching a regular expression.
the string is multiline, when I replace the newline characters with spaces all goes fine.
is there another way to do it without replacing anything ?

let's say the string is:
item1=102
item2=345
...
lastval=1234556


what I want to do is to read the values of item2 and lastval and store them in a couple of variables.

and I used the following code :

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(File.OpenRead("48A8A1B3.ERR")))
            {
                string s = sr.ReadToEnd();// here I read the file
                s = s.Replace("\n", " "); // here I replace newlines with spaces, this is what I want to get rid of
                Regex reg = new Regex(@"item2=(?<RouteName>\w*)(.*)lastval=(?<PhoneNumber>\w*)");
                if (reg.Matches(s).Count > 0)
                {
 
                    Match m = reg.Matches(s)[0];
 
                    string RouteName = m.Result("${RouteName}");
                    string PhoneNumber = m.Result("${PhoneNumber}");
                    MessageBox.Show(RouteName);
                    MessageBox.Show(PhoneNumber);
                }
 
            }

thx for helping ;)

Change:

Regex reg = new Regex(@"item2=(?<RouteName>\w*)(.*)lastval=(?<PhoneNumber>\w*)");

Into:

Regex reg = new Regex(@"item2=(?<RouteName>\w*)(.*)lastval=(?<PhoneNumber>\w*)", RegexOptions.Singleline);

And you won't have to replace anything.

thanks a lot !
I tried to use the multiline option because I thought it was the correct one,
never thought it is exactly the opposite :)
