RE: How to split a string between <> or "" in VB.net

Enter "(.*)"\s+<(.*)> in the regular expression box

Enter "John Doe" <john.doe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> in the test string box

Click on the Groups button


You can simulate this test in .net by adding a form with 2 text boxes. One
for the regular expression pattern and the other for the test string. Sample
code below

Dim r As Regex = New Regex(txtRegEx.Text, iOptions)

' Match the regular expression pattern against a text string.
Dim m As Match = r.Match(txtTestString.Text)
Dim matchcount As Integer = 0
While (m.Success)
matchcount += 1
sResults = "Match" & (matchcount) & " '" & m.ToString &
"'" & Chr(10)
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To m.Groups.Count - 1
sResults = sResults & " Group " & i & "='" &
m.Groups.Item(i).ToString & "'" & Chr(10)
Next i
m = m.NextMatch()
End While
