Thankyou developer x, i'm not getting the desired result. Then i
realised i shouldn't be using @ as that will just negate the escape
characters.

The regex doesn't like \1 any suggestions what this should be changed
to?

Thanks,

I am trying to use the regular expression that Oliver kindly provided
as a starting point.
filecontents is a string that contains my file contents. But i cant get
this to work. I added the @ in as i was getting an error that it didn't
recognise the escape sequence, but it still isn't working. How can i
fix this? Thankyou.

Im getting an error at Regex.Split(...)

Regex r = new Regex(@"[
]([A-Z][A-Z])([A-Z0-9]+)(\1)([A-Z0-9]+)(\1)([A-Z0-9]+)[ ]");
Regex.Split(filecontents, r);

MessageBox.Show(filecontents.Length.ToString());

Thankyou
