Re: regex

case sensitivity was part of the problem which I fixed with
RegexOptions.IgnoreCase
However there is still problem with my regex pattern,
I could test with simple one like "FEB", or
"((JAN)|(FEB)|(MAR)|(APR)|(MAY)|(JUN)|(JUL)|(AUG)|(SEP)|(OCT)|(NOV)|(DEC))"
and get the right answer but not
'([ADFJMNOS][ACEOPU][BCGLNPRTVY])"
In other word I got syntax problem with the month pattern
