Hi,
I would like to know how to write regular expression in vb.net that
would be valid for a piece of text that is only numbers, letters,
dashes, and underscores that is allowed.
Thanks

The following expression will do what you requested:
^(?:\w|-)+$
This will match text containing numbers, letters, underscores and
dashes. If any other characters exist in the string, it will not
match.
If you want partial matches in your string, remove the two anchors as
follows:
(?:\w|-)+
To actually learn how I created that, there are a few books explaining
regular expressions. I like Friedl's book Master Regular Expressions.

One extremely useful resource for composing regular expressions is
Expresso. It's helps me out a ton whenever I have to use Regex.
Check it out at: http://www.ultrapico.com/Expresso.htm

Hi there,
does anyone know how I can build a regular expression e.g. for the
string.search() function on runtime, depending on the content of
variables? Should be something like this:
var strkey = "something";
var str = "Somethin like this";
if( str.search( / + strkey + / ) > -1 )

I have a text file that I load up to a string. The text includes

the expression with the new text.

Hi,
I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see
some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I
apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid
that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory
stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to
avoid multiple copies of a string.
Any help will be highly appreciated

I'm using regular expressions to extract some data and some links from some

For building regular expressions, I use an app call The Regulator, which

As a warning, I'm real weak with regular expressions. Let's say my regular

I have a regular expression (^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 ) that results in
matches. I would like to get what the actual regular expression is.
In other words, when I apply ^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 to " HEART (CONDUCTION
DEFECT) 37.33/2 HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) WITH
CATHETER 37.34/2 " the expression is "HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT)". How
do I gain access to the expression (not the matches) at runtime?
Thanks,
