Hi, I have the following string:

"Data source=(local);Initial catalog=GeomelioDaneEwidencyjne;User
ID=aaa;Password=bbbbb;"

I need to get values of User ID from it. (aaa),

how can I do it using regular expressions?


Adding the special case that the user id may be the last parameter, not followed by a semicolon (which is not appearent from your example), this pattern would work:

"(?:^|;)User ID=([^;]+)(?:;|$)"
